AU Australia property term
Depreciating Assets
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
Assets with a limited effective life whose decline in value may be deductible when used to produce rental income, subject to tax rules.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
Rules can restrict deductions for second-hand assets in residential rentals. Separate eligible plant and equipment from capital works and retain purchase and installation records.
