When it comes to maximising the returns on investment properties in New South Wales, tax depreciation is one of the most powerful tools an investor can use. As quantity surveyors, we at Quantum QS have a long history of delivering detailed depreciation schedules and reports that help property owners optimise their tax position, and we believe our expertise makes us the ideal partner for depreciation needs in NSW.

What Is Tax Depreciation, and How Do We Help?

Tax depreciation allows property investors to claim deductions over time for the decline in value of their property’s building structure (Division 43) and its plant and equipment (Division 40). At Quantum QS, we prepare ATO-compliant tax depreciation schedules and reports for residential, commercial, industrial, and other types of properties. 

Our tax depreciation schedule Sydney is designed to maximise the deductions available to you while ensuring full compliance with current tax regulations. We know how important it is to accurately identify every eligible asset, provide precise cost estimates, and deliver clear, defensible documentation, and that’s what our team does.

Deep Experience & Credibility You Can Trust

One of the biggest reasons to choose us for your tax depreciation in New South Wales is our track record. We bring over 35 years of experience as quantity surveyors, valuers, and construction consultants.

Our team includes registered quantity surveyors, certified valuers, and professionals who are accredited by bodies such as RICS, AIQS, and API.

How We Deliver for Property Investors in NSW

We pride ourselves on a thorough, structured, and client-centred process for creating your tax depreciation schedule Sydney (or NSW). Here’s how we work:

1. Initial Consultation & Data Gathering
   We start with a detailed conversation about your property, location, build date, usage, rental income, and any renovations. This helps us contextualise your depreciation potential.
   
   
2. On-Site Inspection
   One of our experienced quantity surveyors visits your property to physically inspect and measure all depreciable assets, structural elements, fixtures, fittings, and more.
   
   
3. Cost Research & Valuation
   Using our extensive database and industry knowledge, we estimate the construction costs, life expectancy, and decline in value for both building and plant/equipment items.
   
   
4. Report Preparation
   We prepare a comprehensive depreciation schedule detailing annual deductions under Division 43 and Division 40.
5. Ongoing Support
   After you receive your schedule, we remain available to clarify any questions, help your accountant interpret the numbers, or update the report if property improvements are made. 

The Key Benefits of Using Quantum QS for Tax Depreciation

Maximised Deductions & Cash Flow

By carefully identifying all eligible depreciable items, from fixed building structures to removable plant and equipment, we help you claim the full scale of deductions you deserve. This can significantly reduce your taxable income and improve cash flow. 

ATO Compliance & Accuracy

Our reports are prepared by highly qualified quantity surveyors who understand ATO rules inside out. This means your depreciation schedule is more likely to stand up if ever reviewed. 

Value for Long-Term Investors

Depreciation is not just a short-term gain. Our detailed schedules forecast decline in value over many years, helping you plan and claim year after year.

Retrospective Claims

Even if you haven’t claimed depreciation before, we can often prepare schedules that allow you to make retrospective claims for up to two prior financial years, potentially unlocking backdated tax savings. 

Expert, Transparent Service

Because we are a boutique QS firm with over 35 years of experience, we provide a high level of personalised service. We’re passionate about helping investors in NSW leverage depreciation, and we do so with transparency, integrity, and technical rigor.
