Established properties are not automatically too old to review

Older dwellings may still hold value where extensions, renovations, later improvements or qualifying capital works can be identified.

$432,765

total deductions identified

Inner-city established dwelling

A short opening claim period still led to a meaningful long-term schedule because later building works and the adjusted capital works base were reviewed.

$652,070

adjusted Division 43 base

Major renovation history captured

Renovation details such as second-storey additions, internal works, cabinetry, floorboards, painting, glazing, stairs and bathroom fittings were treated as part of the review.

Why the detail matters

The report value is often in the line-by-line assessment

The strongest case studies are not just headline totals. They show the construction timing, affected Division 40 items, adjusted Division 43 base and claim period assumptions behind the result.

40 years

typical schedule period

Longer-term claim visibility

The public pages show a shorter extract, while the property-specific report can typically set out a longer depreciation schedule for accountant review.

Guide only

not tax advice

Useful without over-exposing private details

The public examples keep the numbers and property context useful while removing client names, exact street addresses and identifying details.

Guide only

These figures are deductions, not guaranteed refunds

Tax depreciation outcomes depend on property type, construction history, ownership, income-producing use and accountant advice. The examples refer to deductions identified in specific client circumstances.
