Hi,
Can I claim depreciation on a brand new built property that finished 2 weeks ago.
We have been advertising and are yet to have a tenant signed up.
Is depreciation calculated from when you first have a tenant, or when the property build is completed? Can I claim depreciation for the 2015/16 financial year?
Cheers
