Telstra PAPL Lease Lines to be turned off at the end of 2009! Telstra PAPL
Does your business utilise a (permitted attachment private lines) Lease Line?
Did you know that as of 31st December 2009 all Telstra PAPL Lease Lines will be switched off? You need to begin thinking about your options NOW to assure your business is equipped to make an informed decision about which option is best for you. Telstra will be providing an alternative service to their Lease Line customers, though it is expected to cost more and be tied to a 3 year contract. This is a perfect opportunity to consider alternative technologies. National Wireless can offer wireless broadband infrastructure on private networks, providing your business with a solution that will function on the cutting edge well into the future. We can custom design, install and maintain a solution designed specifically for your companies requirements! If you choose to install your own Private Network in lieu of a public access network such as Next-G, it is reasonable to expect a strong return on investment proposition; whilst also maintaining tighter control of your companies on going operating expenses. In addition your company benefits from greater bandwidth and reliability than you can expect on a public access network.
Call National Wireless on 1300 852 929 to discuss the solutions we offer that can not only replace your existing lease line, but dramatically improve the speed and quality of your communications and save your business money in the long term.

Federal Government
INVESTMENT ALLOWANCE As you may be aware the Government has introduced a Small Business and General Business Tax Break, also known as the Investment Allowance. It gives business the opportunity to claim an additional tax deduction on the cost of new, tangible and depreciating assets for which a deduction is available under Subdivision 40-B of the ITAA 1997 and new investment in existing assets. Small business’s (turnover less than $2 million) need to invest a minimum of $1,000 on an individual asset in order to qualify for a 50% investment allowance on the cost of eligible assets acquired between 13 December 2008 and 31 December 2009. All other business (turnover greater than $2 million) must reach a $10,000 threshold in order to qualify for a 30% investment allowance. In order to be eligible for the 30% / 50% deduction, customers need to have signed a contract / provided a purchase order or the asset must have started to be constructed by 30th June 2009. It may also be applied retrospectively to purchases made after 13th December 2008. Purchases made after 1st July 2009 and before 31st December 2009, will be eligible for a 10% tax deduction. To meet the investment threshold taxpayers can aggregate expenditure in the following ways: • Aggregation of identical assets - allows taxpayers to aggregate the eligible spend on identical or substantially identical assets to meet the requisite investment threshold. • Assets forming part of a set - the eligible spend on assets may also be aggregated if they form part of a set. Items may be regarded as a set if they are dependent on each other, marketed as a set, or designed and intended to be used together.
National Wireless Finance Options Australia is in a recession and it is a difficult time for any business to thrive. It is vital then that we keep spending to keep our businesses and indeed the economy afloat, but the banks are making it very hard to obtain finance, for even the most essential expenditure.
Did you know ... that in addition to the cutting edge technology and first class service provided by National Wireless, we can also assist you in securing finance enabling you to upgrade, replace and expand your communications infrastructure? Several manageable, flexible financial options are available to approved customers: • Leasing provided by a third party
Key Dates Asset under contract or begun construction: 13th December 2008 - 30th June 2009 30% / 50% tax deduction Installed and ready for use 30th June 2010 Asset under contract or begun construction: 10% tax deduction 1st July 2009 - 31st December 2009 Installed and ready for use 31st December 2010 This is a “bonus” tax deduction, which applies in addition to any deductions for depreciation ordinarily applicable for the products purchased. It is important to note this is subject to legislation being passed by parliament, though it is expected to pass unimpeded. This is for information purposes only and businesses should seek their own taxation advice.
• Interest free finance; make 12 equal payments to National Wireless on a monthly basis • 36 month rental agreement (subject to interest) If your business has plans to purchase, install or upgrade your two way radios or wireless networking infrastructure then our financial options in tandem with the Governments 30% Investment Allowance, make it a prudent option to commit to this expenditure before the end of this financial year!!
