BRISBANE PROPERTY INVESTORS BENEFIT FROM TAX DEPRECIATION

Boost your tax benefits and property investment strategy with a Tax Depreciation report prepared by Brisbane Buyers Agency

To help our Brisbane property investor clients boost their tax benefits and overall investment strategies we prepare property Tax Depreciation Schedules.

Depreciation is a reduction in the value of an asset over time due to wear and tear. At tax time you can claim this wear and tear on assets purchased for income-producing purposes as a deduction on your Brisbane property.

Claiming depreciation allowances on your tax return helps you to maximise the return on your investment property and produce a healthier cash flow. It’s an invaluable component of a smart Brisbane property investor’s strategy. As a leading Brisbane buyers agent it’s a service we are proud to offer our clients.

How Is a Depreciation Schedule Prepared?

At Brisbane Buyer’s Agency we prepare a Tax Depreciation Schedule by doing a detailed site inspection, taking photographs and inspecting, measuring and quantifying buildings and plant. We prepare your Depreciation Schedule which sets out:

  • the depreciation allowances you, as an investor, can claim on their property. This includes Prime Cost and Diminishing Value calculations so that you can select the optimum claim
  • Division 43 Construction Allowance and Structural Improvement Allowance, which includes building fees, architectural and other professional fees, associated with the cost of construction
  • Tax Depreciation Claim Summary that neatly summarises all the necessary information. It also includes adjustments for part-year claims, so that your accountant spends less time preparing your return.

You then give your Tax Depreciation Schedule to your accountant to prepare your tax return.

To ensure you can reap the most rewards we keep up to date with the continually changing legislation related to construction and depreciation claims.   Our Tax Depreciation Schedules are prepared in accordance with the current legislation.

It is a testament to Paul and his team that I was able to obtain such outstanding returns on my investment properties and with the added security of an included photo registry of assets I have more than enough information to provide to the ATO should I be targeted for a tax audit. The depreciation report experience was completely straightforward and painless even though it was performed whilst I was interstate and as such I have no hesitation in using or recommending Paul’s services for any depreciation requirements in the future.

Kaye Rowley 

I have recently moved to Brisbane and have just purchased a new unit.  I needed a quantity surveyor to complete a schedule for me that was comprehensive and easy to read.  I contacted Property Wealth Australia Pty Ltd and spoke with Paul who promptly attended my residence within one week for his assessment.  Within weeks I was provided with an indepth depreciation schedule that was presented extremely professionally and easy to read.  For peace of mind I also opted to have my unit and furnishings photograhed.  These photos are easily accessible on a CD that sits neatly at the rear of my schedule. I was very happy with all communications I have had with this company and have no hesitations in recommending this company to anyone who requires a professional depreciation schedule for tax or insurance purposes.

Dear Paul,

I wish to thank you for your advice and professional services in the assessment of my 2 investment properties. I never realized the amount of depreciation that could be amassed by such a thorough report, and what impact this has meant to my personal taxation position.

I am sure that many people still go about their taxation preparation in the old way without taking professional advice, and end up with much less than they really should. Your report was a real eye-opener to me, and I have passed on the information that you recently sent me to my entire sales team.

I have a staff of 18 they are now better informed about the advantages of investment property ownership and the benefits of being better prepared. I have shown your report to my accountant and he agreed that is was a well prepared and researched document that will be invaluable for me.

You have an exceptional service ethic, and have been a pleasant person to deal with. I value relationship building in the service environment, and have been impressed with your personal attitude and attention to detail even when I was not so well organised myself.

I will recommend you to whoever I speak to about such matters. Thanks again for your service.
