The ATO website has a "depreciation and allowances tool to work out any capital allowances or capital works expenses." Since I got someone to prepare a depreciation schedule when i purchased the property, I don't want to use the ATO tool. I just want to enter the amount that's listed for this year in the depreciation schedule. Is there a way to do this?

It looks like there's no option but to use the ATO's tool.

Are you ablet o add the amount listed on the depreciation schedule and use 1/07/20XX as starting date and 1 year effective life?

Take care, generally, 2nd-hand assets can't be claimed for capital allowances
