It also depends on what you are buying. Computers and such are run off over 3 years, so you can't claim the full value this year. In theory, content should also be depreciated over a period of time, rather than taken as an expense, as it does become inventory and not "lost". Programming or website design is even more complicated, as it is considered a work product with value, and should be depreciated over at least a 2 year period (or written off at the point that it is no longer in use).
