In the process of selecting a Quantity Surveyor to complete a Tax Depreciation Report for your investment property? Consider the following: Do you know the full history of your property, including any building work prior to your ownership? Do you require a scrapping schedule? What method of depreciation is most suitable for your financial scenario? How long do you plan to keep the property? Do you know all of your building and asset costs?
