The New Zealand government has announced some tweaks to the tax system to assist businesses. It’s not a benefit or cash bonus, but could reduce your tax bill for the 2021 tax year.

Here’s the outline from the video:

For the 2021 financial year you can write off asset purchases of up to $5000 (usually $500)
From April 2021 will reduce to $1000 permanently
Doesn’t cover March 2020
Not really a cash bonus
