Commercial Properties

You can claim tax depreciation under one of two divisions, Capital Works and Plant & Equipment. Capital Works is the structure of the building, the fixed assets that includes the brick and mortar. While Plant & Equipment are the items that can be removed from the property with ease.

Depreciation on Capital Works can be claimed if the building began construction after 20 July 1982. It is possible to get deductions if the building commenced construction prior to that date, but you will need to find out. It is also possible if you purchased the property to claim tax depreciation when it was not claimed before. Complete a claim on Commercial Property: SHOPS, SHEDS and OFFICES.

Claim Depreciation

If you are a property owner, you can claim deductions if your property is leased or on the market for leasing purposes. This can be quite advantageous for property owners who have suffered through the COVID-19 pandemic and seen prospective leasing opportunities drop. Keep in mind that this only applies to commercial properties, not residential properties.

Temporary Full Expensing

If you run a business or are a commercial property owner that has an aggregated turnover which reaches up to A$5 billion, then you are eligible to claim temporary full expensing. If you purchased plant and equipment assets starting on 6 October 2020, then you can write off the asset cost as a tax deduction. This is good until 1 July 2023.

These are just some of the tax deductions that you may claim. It is best to consult with the Quantity Surveyors Sunshine Coast who can provide you with expert advice on different property types.
