All Topics / The Treasure Chest / Can installation cost for item be deducted?
If an installation cost is specified for an item installed in a rental property, eg an airconditioner. Can the installation cost be reclaimed at tax time or does the cost become part of the cost for depreciation?
Any info would be great.

The cost will become part of the cost for depreciation.
depends if the installation costs are part of the building, fixture and fittings or repairs.
complete claim if it is a repair and deductable under UCA if fixture and fittings; and also if special capital ride offGenerally, it forms part of the costs of the plant & is depreciated. However, if the total costs is under $300, you can write them off in one hit.
