Palmerston market overview
Palmerston supports a population of around 40,000 and is Greater Darwin's satellite city. A growing family-housing market, Darwin commuter belt activity, the new Palmerston Regional Hospital and a deepening retail and commercial precinct underpin a steady mix of residential and commercial property activity in the southern Top End.
Tax Depreciation for Palmerston property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Palmerston 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.
