Abbott spruiks business tax breaks

Prime Minister Tony Abbott says this year's budget is a boon for business.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott is spruiking the private sector stimulus his government's second budget provides for business.

The budget's tax breaks for business give owners more choice, he told the Queensland Chamber of Commerce over breakfast on Tuesday.

The $20,000 instant asset write-off measure let business owners spend their money on what they thought would be most effective rather than government dictating how it should be spent, Mr Abbott said.
