Gungahlin market overview

Gungahlin supports a population of around 90,000 and is the fastest-growing Canberra district. A deep apartment and townhouse pipeline through Gungahlin town centre, Casey, Throsby and Moncrieff generates substantial Division 40 deductions per dwelling. The Gungahlin light rail line to Civic and a growing professional-services sector underpin a strong investor market.

Tax Depreciation for Gungahlin property investors

An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Gungahlin 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.
