Its March already!

Have you got your depreciation schedules in order?

Getting your tax depreciation or ‘property allowances’ right can make a real difference to reducing your taxable income, slashing your tax bill and putting more cash in your pocket.

Maximising returns

How does it work?  You can claim deductions based on two allowances:

1. Depreciation assets:
These are items that lose value more quickly – such as carpet, lifts, and whitegoods. You may be able to claim up to 20% of the property’s purchase price this way.

2.  Building allowances:
Depending on when your property was built, you may also be able to claim a deduction for part of the original construction or refurbishment costs.

You may even be able to back-claim previously unclaimed depreciation benefits.
