Depreciation is a tax deduction available to property investors that, if claimed, can add thousands of dollars to the returns from their investments. In the May 2017 Budget, the government introduced legislative changes to areas of taxation that affect property investors &– the main one being depreciation.In this book, one of Australia's most respected quantity surveyors Tyron Hyde covers all the changes property investors need to know and understand in this guide to property depreciation. Do the changes mean investors will stop choosing property? Will current investment property owners now sell off their investments because they can no longer claim deprecation in quite the same way? The answer to both these questions is &‘no', they will (and they should) Keep Claiming It!

It includes: - Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals. - Coverage of: (1) Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which applies to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986; (2) Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) which applies to property placed in service after 1980 and before 1987; (3) General rules for pre-1981 property; (4) Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to 1971; (5) Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; (6) Amortization of intangibles, including 15-year section 197 intangibles; and (7) Luxury car depreciation cap rules and listed property depreciation rules.
