Of all the tax deductions available to property investors, depreciation is the most often missed. According to Bradley Beer, the Chief Executive Officer of BMT Tax Depreciation, a staggering 80 per cent of property investors fail to take advantage of property depreciation.
“On average, most property investors can claim between $5,000 and $10,000 in deductions in the first year for a residential investment property,” said Mr Beer.
Depreciation is a non-cash deduction that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows any owner of an investment property to claim due to the wear and tear of a building over time.
