Two ways to get assessed

Choose the assessment that suits your property

Every investor is different, so we offer two clear options — and we'll help you pick the one that captures the most deductions.

A depreciation schedule prepared by SJB Quantity Surveyors helps ensure you are maximising the cash return from your investment property. We provide our clients with two options:

1. A self-assessed tax depreciation schedule — a cost-effective option where we prepare your schedule from the property details and documentation supplied.

2. A full onsite assessment — one of our qualified quantity surveyors inspects the property in person to identify every eligible asset and capital works item.

What's inside

What is in a depreciation schedule?

When you request a schedule, we assess two categories of deduction: your capital works allowance and your plant & equipment.

Capital works allowance (Division 43)

A deduction for the structural elements of a building, including all fixed and irremovable assets — commonly called your building write-offs. Under Division 43, eligible buildings are claimed at a set rate (typically 2.5%) over 40 years. Not all properties qualify, so our qualified quantity surveyors assess your construction date and costs to claim accurately, at the highest level your building qualifies for.

Plant & equipment (Division 40)

A deduction for all of your removable assets, which the ATO describes as assets that depreciate at a faster rate than the building. Each plant & equipment item has its own effective life, and can be claimed using the diminishing value or prime cost method — with lower-cost items grouped into a low-value pool for accelerated write-offs. This often delivers strong deductions in the early years.
