Home improvements can have a significant impact on both tax depreciation and overall property value, especially when considering Australian tax depreciation laws and quantity surveying. Here's how it typically works: 1. Tax Depreciation: Property owners are eligible to claim depreciation on home improvements done to their property. This depreciation is based on the decline in the value of these improvements over time, as determined by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). 2. Quantity Surveying: Quantity surveyors specialise in assessing construction costs and depreciation deductions for property owners. They conduct detailed inspections of properties and prepare depreciation schedules that are essential for maximizing tax benefits and ensuring compliance with ATO regulations. 3. Increased Property Value: Home improvements do not only make property owners eligible to claim tax deductions. They can also enhance the overall property value leading to higher rental yields or selling prices. 4. Tax Incentives: Property owners may be eligible for tax credits or deductions for certain types of home improvements, particularly those focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. These incentives help offset improvement costs and may contribute to increased property values. In summary, home improvements can positively impact tax depreciation and overall property value. Understanding Australian tax laws and regulations, as well as consulting with trusted tax professionals and quantity surveyors like Koste, can help property owners make informed decisions to optimise financial outcomes.

📢 Update on Interest Rates! 🏦 In a surprising move, the Reserve Bank of Australia has decided to keep the interest rate on hold at 4.35% despite higher-than-expected inflation rates. This decision provides a temporary sigh of relief for borrowers, who might have been bracing for another increase. 🔍 What does this mean for property investors? It's a mixed signal - while the stable rate may help maintain current borrowing costs, the underlying inflation suggests that future hikes could still be on the table. For those looking to invest or reassess their portfolios, now is a critical time to evaluate your strategy. 💡 Stay informed and prepared. If you're considering new investments or looking to adjust your current property and financial strategies, it's crucial to factor in these developments.
