Alice Springs market overview
Alice Springs supports a population of around 26,000 and is the commercial centre of the Red Centre. Tourism (Uluru, Kings Canyon, the West MacDonnell Ranges), Indigenous services and government, defence (Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap) and a regional health hub underpin a stable mix of residential, commercial and short-stay accommodation property activity.
Tax Depreciation for Alice Springs property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Alice Springs property under Division 43 Capital Works (the building shell, claimable at 2.5% p.a. for 40 years where construction commenced after 15 September 1987) and Division 40 Plant & Equipment (carpets, blinds, hot water systems, air conditioning, common-property assets, and more).
For residential property acquired after 9 May 2017, the s40-27 second-hand restriction limits Division 40 deductions to first-use assets - we model this explicitly. Capital works (Division 43) remain fully deductible regardless. Commercial property and qualifying short-stay accommodation businesses retain the full Division 40 deduction.
