Claim Depreciation on your SMSF Property and Increase Deductions
All Self Managed Super Fund trustees should be taking advantage of the benefits that come from claiming depreciation on their investment property. As with any other investment property, SMSF trustees who invest in real estate are entitled to a capital works deduction for the wear and tear on a building’s structure and also for the depreciation of all plant and equipment items associated to an income producing property.
80% of property investors are missing out on property depreciation deductions. On average, a BMT Tax Depreciation Schedule will find between $5,000 and $10,000 in depreciation deductions on a standard residential property within the first financial year alone. By claiming depreciation this will greatly reduce the tax liability for the SMSF and adds valuable dollars to the retirement fund.
