Case study:
Co-ownership example with and without a split report

Without split report - 50:50 ownership interest
Asset Oven Rangehood
Total opening cost $1,624 $468
Depreciation rate 16.67% 18.75% first year 37.5% second year onwards
Total first year deductions $271 $88
Firstyear deductions for each owner $135 $44
Second year deductions for each owner $113 $71

The above example shows what Laura and Ian could claim if the depreciation rules are applied first and then the first year deductions are divided in half to work out each owner’s claim based on a 50 per cent ownership share.

Laura and Ian could claim a total of $726 in depreciation deductions over the first two years of ownership for the oven and the rangehood in their investment property if using a standard depreciation schedule.


BMT Tax Depreciation 50/50 split report
Asset Oven Rangehood
Total opening cost $1,624 $468
Opening cost each owner $812 $234
Depreciation rate 18.75% first year 37.5% second year onwards 100% immediate write-off
Firstyear deductions for each owner $152 $234
Second year deductions for each owner $248 $0

By splitting the value of asset’s based upon each owner’s interest in the assets before applying the depreciation rules, Laura and Ian’s depreciation claim for the oven and the rangehood is increased.

A BMT Tax Depreciation split report allows Laura and Ian to claim a total of $1,268 over the first two years of ownership for these two items.

The additional deductions a BMT Tax Depreciation split report provides has even more significance when all of the assets found in Laura and Ian’s property are considered.
