How you can reduce your taxable income on your investment property

In addition to negative gearing you have a simple opportunity to further reduce your taxable income.

Don't miss out!

Of all the deductions available to property investors, depreciation is the most commonly missed.

A TAX DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE

Your eligible Tax Depreciation Schedule (via our Capital Allowance Report) will provide you with a deductible  depreciation claim every year for up to 40 years!

Residential property schedules start at $660 and your fee will also be tax deductible in most instances (Please confirm with your accountant).

What is depreciation deductible?

Your investment property is comprised of many assets that have differing useful lives that depreciate annually, as the property owner you are entitled to claim the depreciation as an expense that can be applied against the income your investment earns.

What properties are eligible?

Residential investment properties that have been built, extended, refurbished or renovated since September 1987 are all eligible including:

• Houses
• Townhouses
• Apartments
• Units and
• Flats.

How is the annual depreciation calculated?

A trained assessor completes a schedule identifying all of the assets that comprise the investment property with a break down of the diminishing value over each year. As part of the process a licensed Quantity Surveyor signs off on the schedule and your accountant or tax agent can then include the annual depreciation figure as an ATO compliant deduction in your tax return.

Do I need a schedule completed each year?

NO – our Capital Allowance Report is completed once and the schedule covers your deductions for 40 years.
