So, if you are thinking of investing, - I thought I would share some numbers to clarify that claiming depreciation is still well and truly, a smart move.
Whilst the below figures are estimates, they are based on the average of actual reports we’ve completed. Of course, the figures will vary subject to the specific property that you purchase.
If you buy a property built between the years 1987 and 2000, you may still be able claim roughly $4,000 in deductions per annum or close to $40,000 over the first 10 years.
If you buy a property built between the years 2000 and 2018, it's likely you’ll be able to claim around $6,500 per annum or close to $65,000 over the first 10 years.
If you buy a brand new property, you may be entitled to claim approximately $16,000 in year one and close to $100,000 over the first 10 years.
Investing in a depreciation schedule is a worthwhile investment.
