Division 40 and Division 43, explained simply
A tax depreciation schedule separates two kinds of deductions. Whether you can claim each one depends on your property and circumstances, so confirm with your accountant.
Plant and equipment
Items such as appliances, carpets and blinds that are separate from the building and wear out over time. Special rules limit claims for second-hand items in residential rental properties acquired from 9 May 2017.
Capital works
The construction cost of the building and structural improvements, such as extensions, driveways and renovations. For most residential properties where construction started after 15 September 1987, the rate is generally 2.5% a year over 40 years.
CGT Cost Base Reports
Quantity surveyor estimates of construction and improvement costs for capital gains tax purposes. Residential reports $395 + GST.

Common questions
How much does a tax depreciation schedule cost?
Our Tax Depreciation Schedules start from $395 + GST. A metropolitan site inspection ($200 + GST) is only required where plans, photos or other property information aren’t available. Regional and remote locations and commercial properties are quoted individually.
How long does it take?
The standard turnaround is 5 business days from receipt of all required information. Complex commercial properties and properties that need more investigation may take longer.
Do I need a site inspection?
Usually not. An inspection is only required where plans, photos or other property information aren’t available. We’ll tell you before we start. In metropolitan areas it is $200 + GST.
What is the difference between Division 40 and Division 43?
Division 40 covers plant and equipment: items such as appliances and carpets. Division 43 covers capital works: the construction cost of the building and structural improvements. Your schedule shows each separately.
Can I claim depreciation on a second-hand property?
Often yes for capital works (Division 43). For second-hand plant and equipment in a residential rental property acquired from 9 May 2017, there are special limits, with some exceptions. Your accountant confirms what you can claim.
