In today’s competitive market, maximising cash flow is essential for commercial property owners and business operators. At TDQS, we specialise in helping property investors and businesses unlock the full financial potential of their assets through optimised depreciation strategies. A current and accurate depreciation schedule is a powerful tool to increase liquidity and ensure your operations remain financially strong.
Depreciation Schedules: A Cash Flow Solution for Commercial Properties
An up-to-date depreciation schedule enables commercial property owners to capture valuable tax deductions year after year. These deductions, reflecting the natural wear and tear of buildings and assets, provide a reliable means of enhancing cash flow and reducing taxable income. TDQS ensures that every eligible deduction is claimed to maximise your financial benefits.

How Much Depreciation Can You Claim?
The amount of depreciation you can claim depends on factors such as the property’s age, its assets, and their respective effective lives. Generally, newer properties with modern plant and equipment offer higher depreciation deductions. A tailored assessment from TDQS will provide you with an accurate estimate of your potential deductions.
Understanding Depreciation Categories
Depreciation for commercial properties falls into two main categories:
- Plant and Equipment Deductions (Division 40): Includes movable assets such as air conditioning units, appliances, and machinery. Depreciation is calculated based on the effective life of each asset, as defined by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
- Capital Works Deductions (Division 43): Covers structural elements such as walls, floors, and roofs. Deductions are calculated based on construction costs and the property’s age.
