6 Facts, every property owner should know about depreciation.

The ATO is careful to outline that a depreciating asset is one that has a limited effective life and can be reasonably expected to decline in value over the course of that time. Equipment, tools, vehicles and furniture may all be regarded as a depreciating asset under the right conditions.

Notably though, land and items of trading stock are excluded from the definition of depreciating assets. Similarly, most intangible assets are excluded from the definition. But fixtures and buildings are treated as distinct from the land they’re built on, and commonly qualify as depreciating assets and capital works that can be factored into a tax depreciation schedule.

There are a couple of ways we can talk about depreciation, but they can be broken down into prime cost methods and diminishing value methods. The simplest and most common is straight line depreciation, a prime cost method where the opening value of the asset (typically purchase price) is reduced down to zero over the effective life of the asset in equal amounts each financial year. . An asset with an opening value of $12,000 with an effective life of 12 years will be depreciated at $1,000 per year, every year until the undeducted value reaches zero.

Diminishing value methods are a little more sophisticated, and are utilised to front end load the deduction upon that asset. The declining balance method will have a more aggressive method of claiming depreciation and will reduce the undeducted value of the asset earlier in the effective life and taper those claims off later in the life of the asset. This is done by applying the depreciation rate against the written down value of the asset from the previous financial year, instead of the opening value.
