Can I Claim External Painting as a Tax Deduction?
Quick Answer
External painting can be claimed as a tax deduction if it's maintenance, not an improvement. Under **Division 43 of ITAA 1997**, maintenance involves repairing existing paintwork, while improvements are capital in nature and depreciated over time. Consult a QS for specific advice.
