Why a Depreciation Schedule is Crucial For Every Property Investor
Depreciation schedules are one of the most effective but underused tools available for property investors to maximise their returns.
The purpose of a depreciation schedule is to outline the value of your client’s Division 40 and Division 43 assets as well as how much it has depreciated and will depreciate.
This will give them a clear idea of how much they can claim.
As an accountant, helping your clients understand the finer details of what a tax depreciation schedule can mean for their investment is just one way to make sure they get the most out of it.
