Can I Claim Depreciation on a Leased Commercial Property?
Quick Answer
Yes, as a tenant leasing a commercial property, you can claim depreciation on the plant and equipment (Division 40) and any fit-out you install. This does not include the building structure (Division 43), which remains the landlord's responsibility. Consult your accountant to maximise your tax benefits.
