Depreciation Report

Maximise Your Investment Property Tax Deductions

A Depreciation Report helps property investors claim the maximum allowable deductions on their investment property. At Propti, our certified Quantity Surveyors prepare ATO compliant Depreciation Schedules that clearly outline the decline in value of building structures and assets over time.
These reports help you save thousands at tax time and ensure you are claiming everything you are entitled to.

If you also need construction or valuation reports, explore our QS Reports or Valuations pages.

What Is a Depreciation Report

A Depreciation Report, also known as a Tax Depreciation Schedule, details the reduction in value of construction and asset components within a property.
This report is essential for all investment property owners as it identifies eligible deductions under ATO legislation.

It applies to
• Residential investment properties
• Commercial and industrial buildings
• Newly built and renovated dwellings
• Short term rentals and holiday homes

Every report is completed by a qualified Quantity Surveyor registered with industry bodies such as AIQS and recognised by the Australian Taxation Office.

​

Why Depreciation Reports Matter

Without a Depreciation Report, investors often miss legitimate deductions worth thousands of dollars every year. A certified report ensures
• Compliance with ATO rules and current tax legislation
• Accurate classification of capital works and plant assets
• Maximum allowable deductions for both new and existing buildings
• Support for accountants in preparing annual returns

Having a Depreciation Report can significantly improve the cash flow of your investment property.
