Mackay market overview
Mackay supports a population of around 80,000 and is the commercial centre of Central Queensland's resource corridor. Bowen Basin mining services, the Port of Mackay, the sugar industry and a regional health and education sector underpin a steady investor market across both residential and industrial stock.
Tax Depreciation for Mackay property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Mackay 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.
