Case Study


Houses

Case study :


  • In 2020 John paid $580,000 for a 15yr old house in Gosford.
  • His house was rented for $350 per week or $18,200 per year.
  • John's property expenses totalled $22,090 for the year, which included interest, rates, management fees, and maintenance.
  • APQS turned John's negative cash flow situation into a positive one by claiming depreciation, saving him $2,590 in the first year of ownership.
  • John was paying out $47 per week before depreciation, and now after APQS, he was able to turn his loss into a $3 weekly income by taking advantage of tax regulations and submitting a depreciation claim of $7,000.
  • In the first year, APQS saved John $2,590 in total and $10,500 in the first five financial years.

Case study :


  • Annie paid $950,000 for a two-bedroom apartment a year ago.
  • The property was rented for $770 per week, generating a total annual income of $40,040.
  • The property's expenses totalled $48,500, which included interest, rates, and management costs.
  • Annie discovered she could claim $18,000 in depreciation deductions in the first year after calling APQS.
  • She would lose $102 a week for the first year of ownership of the property if she didn't claim depreciation, and instead was able to turn her cash flow situation around and cut her deficit to only $26 per week by just claiming depreciation.
  • In the first year alone, APQS was able to save Annie $6,600 and $26,500 in the first five financial years.

Property Inspections


APQS needs to undertake a physical site inspection to measure, photograph, and appraise the assets placed for depreciation reasons to compile a thorough tax depreciation schedule. This allows us to maximise our tax deductions while remaining in complete compliance with the Australian Taxation Office. APQS takes measures of rooms, notes of assets installation dates, and photographs of the building, fixtures and fittings such as stoves, air conditioners and hot water systems during the site inspection process.
