End of Financial Year 2026:

Smart Moves for Construction & Trade Businesses Before 30 June

The end of the financial year is just around the corner   and for construction, trade, and sealing businesses across Australia, it’s one of the most important dates on the calendar. Whether you’re a sole trader, a small applicator crew, or a large commercial contractor, EOFY is your annual opportunity to review spending, maximise deductions, and set yourself up for a stronger FY2026.

 

At Simseal®, we’ve been supplying premium sealants, adhesives, and waterproofing products to Australian tradies and businesses for years. We know that smart purchasing decisions right now can make a real difference to your bottom line. Here’s what you need to know before 30 June.

 

1. Why EOFY Matters for Trades & Construction

For most Australian businesses, the financial year ends on 30 June. Any legitimate business expenses incurred before that date can generally be claimed as a tax deduction in this financial year meaning purchases you make now count this year, not next.

 

2. Stock Up on Sealants, Adhesives & Waterproofing  Before 30 June

If you’re a caulker, applicator, builder, waterproofer or contractor who regularly uses sealants and adhesives on the job, now is the ideal time to review your stock levels and place your orders.

 

💡 EOFY Purchasing Tip Purchasing consumables and materials you’ll use in your business before 30 June means you may be able to claim them in this financial year. Stock that sits in your van or workshop is still a legitimate business expense if it’s for use in your trade.

 

Here’s a quick checklist of Simseal® products worth reviewing before EOFY:

 

Product Category	Key Products	Best For
Silicone Sealants	SS100 Wet Area, S60 Clad Glaze	Bathrooms, kitchens, facades, skirting
MS Polymer Sealants	Simflex Facade	Precast panels, concrete joints, façades
Waterproofing	Waterproofing Range	Wet areas, decks, roofs, balconies
Fire Rated Sealants	Fire-rated range	Fire walls, penetrations, compliance work
Civil & Infrastructure	Roadbond 888 and Simflex Facade	Road joints, civil construction, infrastructure

 

3. The Instant Asset Write-Off: Is It Still Available?

The Australian Government’s instant asset write-off allows eligible businesses to immediately deduct the cost of assets purchased for business use, up to the applicable threshold. While the specific rules and thresholds change each year, small and medium-sized businesses should speak with their accountant about whether tools, equipment, or vehicles purchased before 30 June qualify.

 

For the trades and construction sector, this can be highly relevant   whether you’re buying a new gun applicator kit, upgraded safety equipment, or vehicles and plant.

 

⚠️  Always verify current ATO rules with your accountant. Tax thresholds and eligibility criteria change each financial year. This article is general information only and does not constitute financial or tax advice.

 

4. EOFY Strategic Checklist for Sealant & Construction Businesses

With 30 June rapidly approaching, finalising your administrative tasks now will prevent future complications and optimise your tax position. Prior to the deadline, ensure you have followed up on unpaid invoices, organised your expenditure records, and completed a thorough inventory review. This period offers a prime opportunity to secure materials for future projects, replace aging applicator equipment to utilize available tax incentives, and confirm your BAS compliance.

Consult with your tax professional to solidify your financial roadmap, allowing you to recalibrate your service rates and begin the new financial year with a clear advantage on 1 July.
