    What Are Tax Depreciation Schedules Used For?

    Most properties, residential or commercial, new or old, will have depreciation available. Depreciation refers to a tax break that allows investors to offset their property’s decline in value from taxable income. Depreciation can be claimed on tax returns each financial year, to help the investor to potentially save thousands of dollars.

    A tax depreciation schedule is a report that profiles all potential tax depreciation deductions for a commercial or residential investment property. Tax depreciation schedules list all of the depreciable assets related to owning a property, including the building itself. Developed to meet an accountant’s tax claim requirements, depreciation schedules are invaluable reports that can maximise savings for an investor.

    Property Returns specialise in providing tax depreciation schedules, prepared by fully qualified quantity surveyors. The depreciation schedule will provide a detailed guide on what the investor can claim, and when. As our team comprises registered tax agents and expert quantity surveyors, each report will detail all depreciable items and the effective life and depreciation rate for all division assets. Our depreciation schedules can even be forwarded directly to your accountant to further simplify the process. Property Returns encourage property investors to order a tax depreciation schedule as soon as the settlement has occurred, to ensure you’re claiming everything that you’re entitled to.
