Depreciation is an income tax deduction that allows a taxpayer to recover the cost or other basis of certain property. It is an annual allowance for the wear and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence of the rental real estate property. Depreciation means the cost of the asset is spread, so it is written off against the profits of several years rather than just the year of purchase.

Tax depreciation can be allowed on a property only if it fulfills the following requirements:

1. The taxpayer must use the property in business or in an income-producing activity.

2. The taxpayer must own the property.

3. The property must have a determinable useful life of more than one year.

For a more proper and professional way of depreciation, a depreciation schedule is organized by the professional quantity surveyors. This depreciation schedule shows the amount of depreciation able to be claimed in the property over the life of the building.

A depreciation schedule should include the following components:

1. Assets decline

2. Capital Works deduction

The Asset Depreciation Schedule is divided into major asset categories such as buildings, equipment, hardware, and software.

Quantity surveyors are the professional that are responsible for setting up the tax depreciation schedule.
