Why use a Quantity Surveyor to prepare your depreciation schedule?
The Australian Taxation Office 1997 published a ruling that stated that Expert Quantity Surveyors are the appropriate body to prepare depreciation reports.
Your accountant, property manager, nor real estate agents cannot provide a cost of construction where the costs are unknown. That’s where we come in because that’s what you will be depreciating – the construction cost.
What can I claim in a Byron Bay and Ballina depreciation schedule?
A depreciation schedule consists of two components:
The Division 43 Capital Works deduction: This relates to the structure of the building – items such as brickwork, concrete and tiling.
Plant & Equipment Depreciation refers to items that are easily removable and depreciate faster, like ovens, dishwashers, and blinds.
A depreciation schedule for your Northern NSW investment property will include the above aspects.
You won’t be alone in your choice.
