Investors who own income producing properties are eligible for significant taxation benefits. The Chief Executive Officer of BMT Tax Depreciation Bradley Beer says "research shows that 80 per cent of property investors are failing to take full advantage of property depreciation and are therefore missing out on thousands of dollars in their pockets." Depreciation is missed because it is a non-cash deduction – the investor does not need to spend money to claim it.
As a building gets older, items wear out – they depreciate. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows property owners to claim this depreciation as a deduction. Depreciation can be obtained by any property owner who obtains income from their property.
