>Tax Depreciation
In 1985 legislation was passed to bring a boost to the residential construction industry with a goal to stimulate the property investment industry and reduce the amount of rental shortage in Australia. This piece of legislation entitled investors to claim for the amount of wear and tear that the building, and the removable assets within their investment property received, which essentially reduced their asset holding costs by reducing their assessable tax income. Since the introduction of property tax depreciation there has been widespread curiosity about this type of service with mixed reviews on what is a standard to reporting and scheduling, professionals whom which are allowed to carry out the service and a standard price of the product. In 2010 the ATO implemented a limited tax agent license to those professionals who had been previously working in the field of providing tax depreciation schedules. From this all professionals who provide this service are required to hold a license and approved PI insurance. Through Property Returns commitment and dedication to the industry we as a company hold the most tax agent licenses for providing this service to investors. Just another reason why Property Returns is a step above the rest.
