TAX DEPRECIATION SCHEDULES
The tax depreciation property investment owners incur is claimed by using what are referred to as a depreciation schedule. With a tax depreciation schedule, the depreciation that you can write off each year is prearranged on a table prepared by a Quantity Surveyor. The tables within a depreciation schedule will show each financial year, how much you can deduct against your income. This is called a non-cash deduction, as you did not physically pay out any cash.
WHAT 'USEFUL LIFE' REALLY MEANS
It is important to keep in mind that the term “useful life” is a legal term that has nothing to do with how long you actually end up using an asset. Australian law defines the useful life of different asset classes under a rigid set of rules. In many cases, therefore, the useful life that you will use for depreciation in the depreciation schedule will be a lot shorter than the actual period of time that you use an asset for.To determine the effective life of these assets, the ATO has a tax ruling which is regularly updated, with the most recent one being the TR2019/5
WHEN YOU NEED A DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE
You need to use a depreciation schedule whenever you account for the depreciation associated with a newly acquired investment property for the first time. If an asset was not new when you purchased it and certain forms of ownership structures are being utilised, you may have to continue with the depreciation schedule used by the previous owner. In most cases, however, you will start by making your own depreciation schedules. Factors that your depreciation schedule will cover include:
- useful life,
- depreciation method,
- current-year depreciation, and
- salvage value.
HOW DEPRECIATION IS CALCULATED
Exact methods for calculating depreciation go outside the scope of this article, but a depreciation schedule generally starts by subtracting the projected salvage value and previous depreciation from the purchase price of an asset. Some types of assets can be depreciated over a period of 6 to 10 years for plant and equipment while the capital works is 40 years.

Choose Your Depreciation Schedule Carefully
Under Australian law, it is generally not possible to modify a depreciation schedule associated with an asset after the initial schedule has been selected. Therefore, it is crucial for the owners of investment property to make the right decisions in the early stages after acquiring a substantial capital asset. As long as decisions are made with professional help and careful deliberation, deductions for depreciation expenses are usually able to exceed the real cost of depreciation over the long run.
Accelerated Depreciation. (Diminishing Value)
The common or most popular form of depreciation schedule uses the accelerated method of depreciation. With accelerated depreciation, you can claim most of the depreciation in the early stages after purchasing an asset. Accelerated depreciation accounts for the reality that many products, such as ovens, cook-tops, carpet etc can be obsolete quicker than there intended effective life and the ATO allows investment owners this option.
Straight-Line Depreciation (Prime Cost)
The other method of depreciation that you can use with certain types of asset depreciation accounting is called straight line method. Under straight-line rules, depreciation is allocated evenly across each year of an asset’s projected useful life. Therefore, when you use the straight-line method, you claim the same deduction each year until the asset is considered to be fully depreciated.
About Your Tax Depreciation Schedule
A tax depreciation schedule plans how depreciation will be claimed throughout an investment property useful life. For residential property, the capital works or structural part of the building, deductions of 2.5 percent can be made on an annual basis until an asset is considered fully depreciated after 40 years. Since depreciation allowances cannot be adjusted for inflation under Australian law, it is especially important to accelerate depreciation as much as possible. Thankfully, methods exist to break a depreciable asset into various components that can each use their own depreciation schedule over a shorter period of time.
Tax Depreciation Schedule for Investment Properties
Claiming depreciation for rental properties is complex due to the broad range of tools that investors can use to increase their depreciation deductions. To maximise depreciation, tax experts generally recommend that businesses work with a quantity surveyor who can assess how an asset should be depreciated and set up a depreciation schedule. Quantity surveyors can work hand-in-hand with an accountant to arrive at a depreciation schedule that is as accurate as possible.
How Depreciation Works for Rental Properties
If you own a building, you will want to claim depreciation each year to reduce your tax burden. Tax deductions for residential investment property are divided across 40 years under Australian law. Since you can claim depreciation at a rate of 2.5 percent each year, maximising your depreciation deductions can significantly increase your net income. Therefore, you will want to have your best options for depreciation explained to you by a tax professional through a depreciation schedule so that you can make long-term decisions that will add to your bottom line.
Getting Help for Your Tax Depreciation Schedule
Making an effective depreciation schedule for your capital assets is essential but complex. To make the process of selecting a depreciation schedule even more difficult, the Australian Taxation Office does not allow accountants to make depreciation assessments on their own. As a result, you will need to rely on a quantity surveyor; they are the only ones recognised and suitable to do this kind of work
By making your depreciation schedule in the right way from the beginning, you can set your business up for future success by significantly reducing your tax burden.
