Hi,

I had a residential property that was rented out over the FY21/22 and FY22/23 tax years. I've now moved into this property this FY as of August 2023.

I hadn't purchased a Residential property depreciation schedule, and now plan on doing so and adjusting both tax returns appropriately - my understanding is I can still go back and adjust both FY21/22 and FY22/23 based off the schedule. I understand that the cost of the schedule is also tax deductible. Since I'm now living in the property and it's no longer an investment property, I'm trying to understand if I can either:

1) Buy the depreciation schedule now and claim the cost of the schedule in this FY23/24 year, since the purpose of the schedule is purely for business related reasons

2) Buy the depreciation schedule now and claim the cost of the schedule back in previous years

I assume if neither 2 options can be done, then I could only buy the depreciation schedule but the cost of the schedule can no longer be claimed back

Hi @djb783,


When we look at when to claim a deduction for certain rental property expenses, a depreciation schedule can be included in the second element of the cost base. If you've already lodged the tax return that included details about the sale of the property, you'll need to amend it to include the cost.
