For small business owners, the services of an accountant can be of significant importance. As accountants we are involved in more than preparing financial statements and tax returns – we can provide assistance on everything from estate planning to business financing.
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
