Koste Chartered Quantity Surveyors and Asset Advisory provides tax depreciation, asset advisory and insurance services for property owners, investors and their advisers across Australia.
Tax depreciation
Quantity surveyors prepare tax depreciation schedules and related reports so that owners and their accountants have the cost information they need.
- Residential tax depreciation: schedules for residential investment property.
- Commercial tax depreciation: schedules for commercial property.
- CGT cost base reports: help to support the cost base of improvements, including when receipts are missing.
- Tax depreciation projects: examples of projects we have worked on.
A schedule shows what may be depreciable. Your accountant or registered tax agent decides what you can claim.
Asset advisory
Our advisory services help owners understand, record and plan for the assets in their buildings.
- Asset registers: a structured record of the assets in a property or portfolio.
- Lifecycle reporting: the condition and expected remaining life of assets, and what maintenance or replacement to plan for.
- Capital expenditure forecasting: forecasts that support budgeting for replacement and upgrade work.
- Property advisory: consultation and strategy from our advisory team.
Insurance
An insurance replacement cost assessment helps you check that a building is insured for an appropriate rebuilding cost, so you are less likely to be underinsured or to pay for more cover than you need.
