Immediate write-off
A specialist Quantity Surveyor can make use of legislative tools to make partial year claims more beneficial to the owner; regardless of how long a property has been owned and rented. Any item in a property that’s valued at under $300 can be written off immediately – regardless of how many days the property’s been owned. You can also take advantage of low-value pooling – where groups of items worth less than $1000 are depreciated together.
How one BMT client saved thousands
An investor purchased a house for $550,000 and rented from June 2. Even though this property was only owned and rented for twenty nine days, the owner was able to claim back $4,852 for the first financial year. How? BMT Tax Depreciation was able to find:
- $1,288 in immediate write-off allowance for items costing under $300
- $2, 274 for low-value pooled items, and
- $520 by depreciating remaining items based on the remaining financial year.
A BMT report and tax depreciation schedule will list partial year claims in a separate column, making the process simpler for your Accountant.
