TDA Certified Property Valuers & Registered Tax Depreciation Experts

Residential schedules start from $450 plus GST, and the fee is fully tax-deductible in the year you pay it. Commercial and specialty properties are quoted individually because the asset density and inspection scope vary significantly. We'll always give you a fixed-fee quote upfront — no estimate creep.

In nearly every case, yes — comfortably. The deductions a schedule identifies in the first full year alone commonly exceed the fee several times over, and the schedule keeps generating deductions for decades. If we don't think you'll get value from a schedule, we'll tell you on the quote call before you commit.

Usually yes. Capital works (Division 43) deductions apply to buildings constructed after 15 September 1987, plus any qualifying renovations after that date regardless of when the original structure was built. Even a 1960s house that's had a kitchen, bathroom and reno through the 2000s carries claimable capital works. Plant & equipment (Division 40) eligibility depends on the s40-27 rule — we'll work it out at quote time.

From the moment we inspect, it's typically 3 to 5 business days to the final PDF schedule in your inbox. Inspection scheduling sits 1–2 weeks out depending on your state and the property's location. If you're up against an EOFY deadline, tell us — we can usually accelerate.

Yes, and you can retrospectively amend the previous two tax years to claim deductions you missed. Your accountant lodges amendment requests with the ATO; the schedule provides the supporting evidence. For older holdings, the carry-forward effect on the remaining 30-something years of Division 43 life often outweighs the lost early years.

Every TDA schedule comes with full methodology workpapers — the audit-defence backup is already in your file. We reference ATO TR 2024/1, document construction-cost data sources, and identify s40-27 treatment explicitly. If the ATO does query a claim, your accountant has the supporting evidence on hand.
