What is Tax Depreciation?

Progressively during the 1980s the Australian Government introduced Legislation enabling investment property owners to claim tax deductions for Tax Depreciation and Capital Allowances against their income producing properties.

Deductions for Tax Depreciation and Capital Allowances are divided into two categories; building depreciation and plant and equipment (asset) depreciation.

Building depreciation is a flat 2.5% deduction per annum of the original construction cost of the property for each year of ownership. This percentage can rise to 4% per annum depending on the type of property and when it was built.

Plant and equipment (asset) depreciation covers items such as air conditioning equipment, carpets, blinds, curtains, appliances, hot water systems, etc which attract higher rates of depreciation. Note, Legislative changes introduced on 9 May 2017 limited plant and equipment depreciation to the investor who first acquired the plant and equipment.
