Unlock Value Before You Sell
If you're selling an investment property, a Tax Depreciation Schedule can help you reduce your tax, increase buyer interest, and support your capital gains tax (CGT) reporting.
At MDV Quantity Surveyors, we provide fast, ATO-compliant depreciation reports tailored specifically for property vendors—giving you one last chance to maximise deductions and even boost your sale price.
✅ Why Vendors Need a Tax Depreciation Schedule
1. Claim Deductions Until the Day of Sale
You’re entitled to claim depreciation right up to settlement. This can significantly reduce your taxable income in your final year of ownership.
2. Make Your Property More Attractive to Investors
Providing a valid depreciation schedule to your selling agent or buyer shows the remaining tax benefits, making your property stand out in a competitive market.
3. Boost Sale Price Potential
When buyers—especially investors—see the future tax benefits, they may be willing to pay more. This can directly enhance your property’s perceived ROI.
4. Assist with Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
Our schedules help ensure you correctly adjust your cost base and avoid over-claiming deductions—reducing audit risk and ensuring accurate ATO compliance.
5. Backdate Missed Claims (Up to 2 Years)
If you haven’t claimed depreciation in the past, we can help you amend previous tax returns and recover thousands before settlement.
🧾 Example
A Melbourne townhouse owner sells after 7 years without ever claiming depreciation:
Claims $4,500 in the final year
Back-claims $25,000 over the last 2 years
Provides remaining depreciation to the buyer as a bonus
