80% of Australian property investors do not claim their full depreciation entitlement on investment properties – are you one of them?
Despite the fact that depreciation can amount to thousands of dollars per year in tax deductions, it is often overlooked by investors.
Depreciation allows you to write-off part of the cost of your property. This tax deduction is applicable to the value of items such as fixtures and fittings or the construction cost of the property – ie things that will eventually wear out and require replacing.
Apart from mortgage interest payments, depreciation is usually an investor’s biggest outgoing, so to ensure your investment is building your wealth as tax-effectively as possible, it is essential to know how to maximise the depreciation available.
