With June 30 just around the corner, it’s the perfect moment to assess whether your kitchen setup is still working for you. For many food service operators, from artisan bakeries to fast-paced cafés and takeaway shops, the end of the financial year presents a golden opportunity to invest in commercial kitchen equipment that boosts productivity and may come with a healthy tax deduction.
Here’s why making a smart move now could mean savings, efficiency, and a better year ahead.
1. Maximise potential tax deductions
Buying food service equipment before June 30 could mean you're eligible for immediate tax deductions under the current asset write-off rules. That means whether you're replacing worn-out Pie Tin Trays, upgrading to a high-performance Deck Oven, or fitting out your space with a brand-new Rack Oven, you may be able to claim the full value in this financial year.
2. Outdated equipment is costing you more than you think
Older equipment isn’t just less efficient — it can slow down your kitchen, increase power bills, and even impact food quality. If your commercial oven is on its last legs or your racks are warping from years of use, now is the time to upgrade. Investing in new, quality tools can help you streamline operations and reduce stress during your busiest hours.
3. Beat the rush and avoid delays
June is a busy time for ordering commercial kitchen equipment, and stock can move fast. Whether you need a new set of trays, a prep bench, or a deck oven, don’t leave it too late - delays in ordering or installation could mean missing out on EOFY tax benefits.
4. Future-proof your business
The food industry never stands still - and neither should your kitchen. Upgrading now means walking into the new financial year ready for growth, with equipment that works as hard as you do. From upgrading to a larger deck oven for increased baking capacity, to investing in racks or a new mixer for better consistency, small changes can make a big difference.
5. Always check with your accountant
Every business is different, so it's essential to speak to a tax professional about how to make the most of EOFY purchases. They can advise on eligibility, timing, and the best way to structure your investments for the biggest benefit.
EOFY isn’t just about paperwork — it’s a chance to improve the way your kitchen runs, reduce tax liabilities, and set your business up for a stronger year ahead. Whether you’re in the market for a single commercial oven or a full food service equipment upgrade, planning your purchases before June 30 could be the smartest decision you make all year.
