In these troubled financial times, the ATO has issued a timely reminder to trustees of SMSFs that they should regularly review their fund’s investment strategy, so that they can make the best possible investment choices.

Trustees need to prepare and implement an investment strategy for their fund, and the investment strategy should be unique to the requirements of that SMSF and its members.

To make the most of our skills, knowledge and experience, its best to come prepared to every meeting with a few questions.
Does your rental property have a tax depreciation schedule?
If it doesn’t and it was built or renovated after 1985, then you could be missing out on THOUSANDS of dollars worth of tax savings every year!
Regardless of the date of construction, all investment properties have depreciation in the form of depreciating assets, commonly known as Plant and Equipment. Over time, these assets wear out and decline in value.
Examples of Plant and Equipment include carpets, ovens, cooktop, dishwasher, clothes dryer, window blinds, air conditioner, heater and hotwater system.
RENTAL PROPERTY + DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE = MAXIMUM REFUND
