Tennant Creek market overview
Tennant Creek supports a population of around 3,000 and is the commercial centre of the Barkly region. Historic gold mining, current and prospective mineral exploration, cattle industry and a remote services and government employment base underpin a small but steady residential and commercial property market.
Tax Depreciation for Tennant Creek property investors
An engineering-based TDA depreciation schedule identifies every deductible asset on your Tennant Creek 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.
