Services
Residential Depreciation Schedules
Our residential depreciation schedules maximise tax deductions for investment property owners through comprehensive analysis of building structure and asset depreciation. Utilising both prime cost and diminishing value methods, we identify claimable items from construction costs to fixtures, ensuring ATO compliance while optimising cash flow. Reports cover 40-year forecasting with split reporting options for multiple owners.
Commercial Property Depreciation
Specialist commercial depreciation services identify tax deductions for building structures, leasehold improvements, and business assets. Our quantity surveyors assess historical works, apply accelerated depreciation rates, and provide transaction due diligence to maximise claims for property owners, tenants, and owner-occupiers across hospitality, medical, and retail sectors.
Hotel Depreciation Specialists
Tailored hotel depreciation schedules capture structural and asset deductions for freehold and leasehold entities. Our experts analyse building works, fit-outs, and industry-specific equipment to generate hundreds of thousands in annual tax savings, with particular expertise in back-claim analysis and renovation-related deductions.
Split Reporting Services
Split reporting services deliver individualised depreciation schedules for multiple property owners, ensuring accurate allocation of deductions based on ownership shares. This service maintains compliance while simplifying tax reporting for joint property investments through customised, ATO-compliant documentation.
Back-Claim Analysis
Our back-claim analysis identifies unclaimed depreciation from previous tax years through historical property research. By examining construction dates, past renovations, and asset acquisitions, we enable clients to recoup thousands in missed deductions while maintaining full ATO compliance through updated reporting frameworks.

Questions
What is a tax depreciation schedule?
A tax depreciation schedule details annual deductions for property wear-and-tear, covering building structures (Division 43) and assets (Division 40) to reduce taxable income.
How do I use a depreciation schedule?
Provide the schedule to your accountant who will apply the annual deductions to your tax return using either diminishing value or prime-cost methods.
Can I do my own depreciation schedule?
While possible, only qualified quantity surveyors can accurately estimate historical construction costs and asset values required for maximum deductions.
How much does a depreciation schedule cost?
Residential schedules range $440–$715 while commercial reports vary $2,000–$10,000 depending on complexity, with full cost tax-deductible.
Is a depreciation schedule worth it?
Typically identifies tens of thousands in annual deductions, with most clients recovering costs many times over through improved tax outcomes.
How long does a depreciation schedule last?
Quality reports remain valid for up to 40 years or until major renovations require updated assessments of building works and asset values.

NOT ALL DEPRECIATION REPORTS ARE THE SAME! Cheap Quantity Surveyor: $330
Capital Claims: $440 and guaranteed me higher deductions after being shown my brother's report from the cheap surveyor
Other well known Quantity surveyor: $660 and could not promise higher deductions
Capital claims is the clear winner by far! To give some background, my brother and I recently purchased investment properties, which were identical (the only difference was that his was a one floor above mine). After requesting several quotes, my brother decided to go with the cheapest provider. I waited for him to get his
