To use the new depreciation deduction for investment properties, taxpayers must make an irrevocable election in their first eligible tax period. Getting the timing right is essential.
Steps to Elect:
- Determine eligibility — must hold investment property under the realization basis.
-
Election must be made in the first tax period beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
-
Document the election properly within tax filings and retain evidence for audit.
-
Once made, the election applies to all current and future investment properties.
Conclusion
Election is binding and must be made early — miss it, miss the deduction.
