Property Depreciation, Business Asset Depreciation and Balancing Adjustment Reports

The ATO has provided extensive tax publications and access to tax rulings to me to ensure all my reports comply with current legislation

Other Services in Depreciation

I can also provide balancing adjustment reports for when a property investor or business owner disposes of his/her property or business assets or decides not to hold or use them anymore or there is an involuntary disposal of the asset. This involves calculating the difference between the termination value of the asset and its adjustable value at the time of the balancing adjustment event. If there is a balancing adjustment event a balancing adjustment amount has to be included in your assessable income or claimed as a deduction. Hence, the difference between the termination value and the adjustable value will appear as income or a tax deduction. If the termination value is greater than the adjustable value the excess is included in your assessable income. If the termination value is less than the adjustable value the difference is treated as a deduction. The termination value is, generally, what you receive or are taken to receive for the asset when the balancing adjustment event occurs. The termination value is made up of amounts you receive and the market value of non-cash benefits such as goods or services you receive for the asset. Examples of termination values are proceeds from selling an asset or an insurance payout for the loss or destruction of a depreciating asset.

As assets that are plant under Division 40 depreciate to values under $1,000 they are eligible to be included in the Low Value Pool as Low value assets providing the investor/owner opted to use the Diminishing Value Method. I can update reports to reflect the movement of plant to the Low Value Pool where it depreciates faster giving greater up-front deductions & cash flow.

When property owners incur capital expenditure on renovations or structural additions to their property I can provide depreciation reports for those capital expenditures.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

IF you are a business owner where you own business assets or lease assets with the intention of purchasing the assets later then you are entitled to depreciation on those assets. Under income tax law certain deductions can be claimed for expenditure incurred in producing assessable income such as carrying on a business. The cost of acquiring capital assets however, is not completely deductible in that income year of acquisition but must be depreciated as progressive tax deductions over the years it benefits the business for that assets effective life. If you own an investment property you are entitled to depreciation on the plant in the property as well as any building or structural improvements constructed within eligible dates. Getting a tax depreciation report done can greatly improve your after tax cash flow during your ownership of the assets or property. I can help maximise your after tax cash flow up front and ensure you receive the maximum possible deductions you are entitled to under current ATO legislation.

An item of capital equipment which is re-built or replaced is depreciable over an effective life. an improvement to an asset which increases its income generation is also depreciated & not an expense. an insurance payout for these repairs is considered assessable income.
