Our Commercial Services
Depreciation Schedules
A thorough, initial depreciation schedule for the commercial property should be completed upon construction or acquisition. Owners can keep track of their taxable income. As certified Quantity Surveyors, we identify and estimate all potentially depreciable assets, such as building improvements and equipment purchases. Our AIQS and RICS-qualified Quantity Surveyors conduct assessments that document evidence in accordance with ATO substantiation requirements.
Asset Registers
Our detailed asset registers are compiled through a comprehensive survey carried out by our certified Quantity Surveyors. A detailed asset register will provide you with a full list of assets, which in turn will assist with compliance, audits, sinking funds, asset planning, and ongoing commercial tax depreciation.
Balancing Adjustments
The deductions you may be eligible for when demolishing an asset are often overlooked. In the year of demolition, the asset's un-deducted value (written down value) can be claimed, regardless of whether it's capital work or a depreciating asset.
Tenant Abandonment
If the tenant's fit-out is not demolished at the end of the lease term, the landlord is entitled to the capital works component of the tenant's fit-out. The component of eligible capital works has been identified by our assessment.
