The depreciation claimed is added back to the cost basis of the property when it is sold. Since the majority of

claims will maximise your property’s monthly cash flows and aid you to pay off your loan more quickly

How much property depreciation deductions can I claim?
How much you can deduct through a tax depreciation report/schedule depends on four factors:
1. Plant Assets, (DIV 40) the value of the plant asset items bought with the property at settlement. (plant assets are items that do not form an integral part of the building’s structure).
2. Building Allowance, (DIV 43) the historical cost of the building structure. (what the building element cost at the date it was built)
3. Pre-Purchase Renovations or Extensions, the historical cost of any improvements to the original structure of the property made by the previous owners.
4. Post-Purchase Expenditure is the cost of any expenditure by the current owner after the settlement date of the property transfer.
