Unlock Thousands with Australian Tax Depreciation Services (ATDS)

You don’t need to dream about winning the lottery to put thousands back in your pocket. As a property investor, you can claim substantial tax deductions through depreciation—a natural process that requires no additional spending on your part.

At ATDS, we specialize in helping investors maximize their returns by leveraging property depreciation. Yet, research shows that nearly 80% of property investors fail to claim their full entitlements. Often, this happens simply because they aren’t aware of when or how they can claim.

Here’s everything you need to know about property depreciation and how ATDS can help you get the most from your investment.


What is Property Depreciation and How Do You Claim It?

Depreciation refers to the natural wear and tear of a building’s structure and its assets over time. As an investor, you can claim this depreciation as a tax deduction, reducing your taxable income and keeping more money in your pocket.

Unlike other deductions, depreciation is a non-cash deduction. You don’t need to spend anything extra to claim it. All you need is a tax depreciation schedule—a report prepared by qualified quantity surveyors that outlines your available deductions.

The process is simple:

  1. A site inspection is conducted by a qualified specialist.
  2. ATDS prepares a detailed, ATO-compliant depreciation schedule.
  3. Your accountant uses the schedule to include the deductions in your tax return.

A tax depreciation schedule lasts for the lifetime of the property and can even be updated after renovations to reflect any changes.


Missed the Deadline? Claim Depreciation After June 30

Didn’t get your tax depreciation schedule before the end of the financial year? No problem! You can still claim for the previous financial year, as depreciation deductions start from your settlement date, not the date the schedule is prepared.

For example, if your schedule is completed in July 2024, you can still claim deductions for the 2023/24 financial year.


When Can You Claim Depreciation?

1. Settlement Date

Your depreciation deductions begin from the property’s settlement date. Even if you missed claiming in prior years, a comprehensive schedule lets you backdate and recover missed deductions.

2. Genuinely Available for Rent

Your property doesn’t need to be occupied to claim depreciation. As long as it’s genuinely available for rent—even during vacancy periods—you remain eligible for deductions.

3. Partial Year Deductions

If your property was only rented or available for rent for part of the year, you can still claim deductions on a pro-rata basis. Special provisions like immediate write-offs and low-value pooling also allow you to maximize claims on new qualifying assets, even if owned for just a short period.
