The Landmark Delivers Investors Substantial Depreciation Wins
Property Investors in sophisticated luxurious apartments like The Landmark at St Leonards in Sydney are receiving tens of thousands of dollars in depreciation deductions.
Located in Sydney’s popular North shore district, the Landmark offers residents modern living with spectacular views of Sydney Harbour. There are plenty of living options ranging from one bedroom studios to three bedrooms apartments, plus architecturally designed majestic penthouse suites. What sets this development apart is its abundance of resort-style services and facilities accessible for residents.
Our NBtax team was engaged to prepare a tax depreciation schedule for an investor who purchased a two-bedroom apartment in The Landmark.
Following a property inspection, our NBtax tax team calculated a total of $34,460 in depreciation deductions during the first full financial year.
As a new development, our client can claim depreciation for the Building as well as Plant & Equipment Assets (Divisions 43 & 40). They are also entitled to claim depreciation for their share of the many resort-style facilities. These include:
