OVERVIEW What is property depreciation? As a building gets older and items within it wear out, they depreciate in value. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows property investors to claim a rental & investment property depreciation deduction related to the building and plant and equipment items contained within it. Claiming depreciation is a significant taxation benefit, and one which many investors are unaware of. Depreciation is a non-cash deduction – no money has to be spent to be able to claim it.
