The Benefits of Depreciation

Pay less tax: Tax depreciation or property depreciation on a residential or commercial investment property is a legitimate deduction against assessable taxable income, allowing property investors to reduce their tax payable and redirect the savings to other areas such as their investment mortgage.

It works by allowing property investors to deduct a portion of the original costs of Plant and Equipment and Capital Allowance on their investment property each financial year, over the effective life of that item.

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognises that assets purchased for investment properties are generally purchased for generating rental income and represent a legitimate cost to the owner. The ATO also recognises that the value of these assets reduces in value with time and should be allowable as a deduction against the

income produced by the investment property.Different items within a rental property enjoy different rates of depreciation based on the effective life of each item. Qualified inspectors at DEPPRO have the expertise and knowledge to know which items in rental properties are depreciable and how savings can be made for investors.
