The Australian Government has changed the laws about how depreciation deductions on second-hand properties can be claimed moving forward.
But many investors are confused by these changes.
And that’s why we established the National Depreciation Register. To give property investors a quick and easy way to find the actual depreciation costs of their properties – without having to read confusing legislation.
Here’s How It Works
At Washington Brown, our goal has always been to help property investors achieve maximum returns and to reduce their costs.
As one of Australia’s oldest and most respected quantity surveying companies, we have spent the last 40 years inspecting and preparing reports and cost estimates for most of the residential apartments in Australia.
Which means, if you own a second hand property, then it’s likely that we already have the costs and plans for your investment property on our database.
And now, for the first time ever, we’re giving you access to our entire database of residential properties and the actual costs associated with each property.
Finding the tax saving deductions in your property investment has never been quicker, easier or more affordable. All you do is follow these 3 easy steps.
