Tax Depreciation  

Maximise your tax return on property investments

Maximize your investment returns with expert Tax Depreciation advice

Our specialists provide independent advice on reducing tax payable on your investment property.

What is a Tax Depreciation Report?

A Tax Depreciation Report, also known as a Tax Depreciation Schedule, outlines the deductions available for capital works and depreciation on plant and equipment in income-producing properties. Capital works deductions cover building structures, improvements, extensions, and fixed items. Depreciation for plant and equipment includes assets like dishwashers, ovens, air conditioners, and light fixtures.

Who can benefit?

Tax Depreciation reports are relevant for all property types: residential, commercial, and agribusiness. Even if there are no immediate claims for building improvements, deductions may still apply to fittings or plant items.

How does it works?

Our comprehensive Tax Depreciation reports detail eligible deductions over 20 or 40 years. These reports can be submitted to your accountant or tax agent to reduce tax payable on your investment property. Plus, the cost of the report itself is tax deductible.

How much does it cost? 

Our Tax Depreciation Reports start at just $600, providing detailed assessments of eligible deductions for capital works and plant and equipment depreciation. Inclusions:

  • Full site inspection (where applicable)

  • Breakdown of all eligible deductions over 20 or 40 years

  • Report ready for your accountant or tax agent

  • Ongoing support for any questions

The report itself is tax deductible, making this a smart way to reduce tax and maximize returns on your property investment.
