Our points of difference
Koste prepares each report carefully to ensure our clients maximise depreciation returns. In addition, our tax depreciation reports are not auto-generated. Most importantly, our quantity surveyors will always look to see where we can claim maximum deductions.
Our Quantity Surveyors prepare the reports based on the client’s unique circumstances with the best information available. Therefore, if you have been told there are no deductions by one of our competitors or your accountant, get in touch with Koste and challenge us!

Frequently asked questions
What is a tax depreciation report?
A tax depreciation report, also called a tax depreciation schedule, is prepared by a qualified quantity surveyor. It lists the building and the plant and equipment items in an investment property and sets out depreciation deductions that may be available over the coming years. Your accountant decides what to claim.
How much does a tax depreciation report cost?
Our residential tax depreciation reports start from $695 + GST ($764.50 including GST). If the property has a granny flat or dual occupancy, add $100 + GST. We confirm the scope and any additional fees before you proceed.
How long does it take?
Reports are usually ready in about 5 business days.
What is included in the report?
A 40-year depreciation schedule, diminishing value and prime cost methods, low value pooling and write-offs, common areas, previous owners and renovation works, and a split ownership report where it applies. A qualified quantity surveyor reviews and approves each report.
Do you also prepare reports for commercial property or CGT cost base?
Yes. See our commercial tax depreciation page for commercial property, and our CGT cost base report, from $495 + GST, if renovation records are missing.
What is the difference between a depreciation report and a depreciation schedule?
The two terms are used for the same document. Our guide explains what is a tax depreciation schedule and who needs one.
“Really clear advice. I didn’t realise how much I could claim until Koste explained it properly. They didn’t just send a report — they talked it through with me so I knew exactly what to do next.”
Anna – Frankston, VIC
Verified Client
“Not the cheapest option, but definitely the best. Koste actually took the time to understand my property and gave me help even after the report was done. Worth every cent.”
Jason – Joondalup, WA
Verified Client
“As a first-time investor, I was nervous about the process. Koste made it simple and walked me through everything step-by-step. I feel a lot more confident now.”
Michelle – Liverpool, NSW
Verified Client
The team actually called to ask about renos and checked in after the report was sent. That kind of follow-up is rare these days. You can tell they care about getting it right.
Urfan – Ipswich, QLD
Verified Client
“I’ve used other companies before and never got this level of support. Koste broke down what I could claim and helped me understand it over time, not just upfront.”
Joan – Glenelg, SA
Verified Client
“Good communication, easy process, and they didn’t treat me like just another job. It felt like they wanted to help me make the most of my investment.”
Ethan – Kingston, TAS
Verified Client
“I spoke to three companies before choosing Koste. They weren’t the cheapest, but they were the only ones who gave me proper advice, not just a sales pitch. You get what you pay for.”
Laura – Gungahlin, ACT
Verified Client
“The report was great, but what stood out was the support. Even months later, I called with a question and they were happy to help. That kind of service is why I’d use them again.”
