Why trust this site to get your quotes?
Simple: it’s because I know which tax depreciation providers are good value—and I’ve gathered them all here to help you. That means you can rely on this site to supply you with 3 quotes from 3 of the best tax depreciation schedule providers in the country.
As a 2nd generation Quantity Surveyor, I’ve personally prepared over 4,000 tax depreciation schedules with my own hands…and I know the industry from the inside. You can read more about me here.
The upshot for you is that I can remove both the risk and effort from getting a good tax depreciation report:
| With us | Going it alone | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk of getting an inadequate report | ||
| Risk of hidden costs | ||
| Risk of getting a cowboy | ||
| Risk of paying too much | ||
| Risk of wasting your time | ||
| Expected turnaround time |
Why am I am doing this instead of preparing reports myself?
Well, I still produce reports daily, but I don’t just do tax depreciation work. I provide a full range of Quantity Surveying services in South East Queensland (not nationwide).
However, I’ve seen how clients can get taken for a ride by some of the charlatans of the industry. The majority of investment property owners are mums and dads. They don’t deserve to be ripped off just because they’re not experts. Yet, there’s no independent company in Australia willing to guide them through.
It doesn’t have to be this way. And since I know who the good companies are—the ones who reliably provide high-quality tax depreciation schedules—I built this site to make getting quotes from them safe and easy.

Safe & easy
Getting quotes for Tax Depreciation Reports is a time-consuming process! There’s well over 120 tax depreciation providers out there now. This site should save you 4–5 hours of trolling through a plethora of websites, many of which cannot be entirely trusted. Avoid the charlatans and shysters masquerading at legitimate companies. Get yourself a quote from highly scrutinised providers, personally vetted by myself.
Providers & cost
Nowadays, there’s heaps of companies who provide these reports, and prices range from as little as $220 right up to $800 or more.
Unsurprisingly, if you pay peanuts, you will probably get monkeys. Or, to vary the illustration, you wouldn’t expect highway performance from a scooter. In the same way, you should not expect maximum tax savings from a cheap report.
But on the other end of the scale, paying top dollar doesn’t necessarily mean the best report either. Sometimes it just means you’re unwittingly financing a middleman, rather than dealing with a surveyor directly. Other times it means the surveyor took you for a ride.
There is a happy medium where you get exceptional value for money. There’s no need to pay the absolute top end fees, but it’s also unwise to go too cheap.
I have sourced the best value tax depreciation companies in Australia and vetted them through strict criteria (as well as my own industry experience and nose for nonsense):
- They must have an exemplary ATO track record. Their TPB approval certifications must be in-place and current, with no historic problems.
- They must physically inspect your property. This is both to ensure ATO compliance, and because you simply cannot be guaranteed a high-quality report if they haven’t even looked at the property.
- They must have 4.2+ star reviews on Google. If it’s less than that, I don’t feel completely comfortable endorsing the business, because it means some customers, somewhere, have had a less-than-stellar experience.
- They must have been in business 4+ years. Without this, I simply can’t have the confidence in their experience to be able to endorse them.
After discounting everyone who doesn’t meet all of these standards, I was left with a dozen or so companies. So why put in the hard yards when you can just point and click, and get 3 quotes from companies you know you can trust?

What happens when you request a quote
Once you’ve submitted the quote form, the system will look at what you need and where you are, and then gather quotes from the 3 companies best suited to your property. Over the next 24 hours, you will receive your three quotes, along with estimated inspection time frames, and sample reports from each company.
Selection criteria
The best companies for you are picked based on:
- Their proximity to your investment property;
- Their ability to physically inspect your property in a respectable timeframe.
These are never part of the selection process at any point:
- Referral fee value. Every company pays the same rate for being listed here, so there can be no financial dodginess in selections.
- Kickbacks. I do not give or receive any kind of favours from these companies, so there’s nothing to influence the selections. I am known for being fiercely independent, and will not take bribes of any kind.
And needless to say, companies who haven’t passed my vetting process don’t get a look in at all. This protects us both:
- It protects you by ensuring that you get value for money, without the fear of an ATO audit because of a dodgy report.
- It protects me, by ensuring that you are happy with the services you got through my recommendation. If I sent you a quote from someone who didn’t put your interests first, I’d get a bad reputation very quickly, and my own business would be at risk.
My Total BS Filter Guarantee
No one wants one of these reports for the hell of it. You want it to save money on tax. But a bad report can actually do more harm than good. Harm like an ATO audit.
The trouble is, it’s really hard to know if you can trust a company to produce a good report. Many companies will shamelessly convince you, because they know you can’t easily tell until it’s too late.
Here’s a list of most of the tax depreciation providers in Australia. Some are as old as the hills…some still wet behind the ears. Some are total service providers while others are just middle-men. And some wouldn’t know a quantity surveyor even if one hit them over the head with a calculator. You won’t know who’s who unless you’re an industry insider:
Do you want to take your chances with these and many more, and hope to get lucky? Or would you prefer not to bother, and trust an industry insider to shortlist the best options for you?
I certify all my suppliers 100% 1st class.
