Fixed Asset - The investment boost should be excluded if the purchase date is before 22 May 2025
The investment boost should not be included if the purchase date of the asset is before 22 May 2025. I have tested this and if you choose the option for investment boost, Xero still applies investment boost to the asset despite the purchase date of the asset being before the entitlement date. This seems a lot easier to fix than a lot of improvements made to Xero.

Thanks for sharing this idea with the community, Nicola.
We understand the request for Xero to prevent the Investment Boost option from being selected for assets purchased before 22 May 2025. Adding a date-based restriction could help reduce the risk of applying the deduction to ineligible assets.
In the meantime, you can review the Investment Boost selection for assets in Accounting > Fixed assets and update any incorrect settings manually.
We've updated this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue tracking interest from the community. If this would improve your workflow, add your vote and share how you'd use it.

There should also be an option when adding the asset to post Investment Boost to a separate code rather than mixing it up with depreciation.
Depreciation is supposed to represent the gradual wear and tear of an asset. Investment Boost is a government incentive unrelated to wear and tear. It's helpful to show them separately (without a manual journal).
