Thanks for your comment.

Yes, depreciation can decrease a property’s cost base and therefore impact capital gains tax.

We appreciate that there are many views on this topic. It’s important to remember that there are capital gains tax discounts available, including the 50 per cent discount if you have owned the property for more than 12 months.

We recommend discussing capital gains tax with your accountant as they can provide further insight on how it is calculated.

Thanks,
The BMT Team

For cash flow, maybe, but you are just kicking the can down the road. At least tell you readers that truth about it. Let them know that when they sell, they have to pay it back out of the capital gain! On a relatively new property held for several years, your up for a bucket of money to payback. But you guys, property people, never tell it as it is.
