Why Choose Us
We pride ourselves on being industry leaders in the field we specialise in (Tax Depreciation). At Aspire Quantity Surveyors you will deal with a Qualified Quantity Surveyor and Registered Tax Agent from your enquiry on your project through to the completion of your report requirements.
CARD© Report
(Continuous Asset Register Depreciation)
- Clients, holding property can rest assured we will combine their property tax position into one concise report that runs for the life ownership of the property. Reporting annually (or as the Client requires) this report provides a comprehensive detailed report of the tax position for end of year tax purposes.
- We will form relationships with your building managers and in-house record keepers to ensure that any event happening within the property which triggers a tax event is captured and in the CARD report© for delivery time.
- By taking the lead and looking after the client’s tax position on their property we free up staff in-house to concentrate on what they do well and at the same time ensure the depreciation claims on the property are 100% accurate.
Acquisition / Construction / Capital Expenditure
- On a one off report we can ensure maximised claims due to our reporting programmes and expertise in property evaluations.
- Aspire’s reporting point of difference includes with stand alone reports providing the Client with the 4 options of claims, both Diminishing Value and Prime Cost with and without claiming Low Value Pool.
- Within Aspire’s reporting we account for items falling into a low cost value on a yearly basis, we can do this due to the fact that all of our depreciation reports back up is done to an asset register standard.
Balancing Adjustments
- Reporting on this is a way we can help maximise the client’s tax position, many times we have noticed that whilst clients are very good at adding works to their ledgers for tax purposes more often than not the items that are replaced as a result of Capital Expenditure works are not removed from the register.
- In keeping up to date with client’s works on their properties we can make the relevant balancing adjustment claims at the time the works are carried out as a one off report or as part of their combined reporting system ensuring the overall tax position of the property is up to date.
Tenant Abandonment
- An important report that is available under tax legislation but one report most forgotten about for claims purposes. Division 43 works installed by the tenant can become available to the property owner to make claims on, we understand what triggers this and how to account for it.
