Sinking Funds
Are your assests protected?
The ATCE team have a wealth of experience when it comes to the preparation of sinking funds. Our Quantity Suveyors have first hand knowledge of the construction industry, through both extensive training and experience.

When you commission ATCE to prepare your sinking fund forecast plan, you will be ensuring that you have appropriate funds available as and when you require them, due to levies that are set at a practical and manageable level.

Various State based legislation requires that strata titled properties maintain an appropriate sinking fund. New legislation has made it compulsory for every body corporate to prepare a sinking fund forecast. The forecast is designed to outlay the sinking fund budget, in order to cover the future maintenance needs of the building. It is a requirement that the forecast be for a minimum of 10 years, ATCE goes a step further and provides a 20 year forecast so you are not caught out later on with unforeseen costs.

It is vital that a sinking fund forecast is prepared by a construction industry professional. Through our local knowledge and experience and our relationships with builders, architects, engineers and trades people, we produce a fund which accurately reflects the market place. ATCE have the specialised knowledge and skills to create the balance between levies being too high or too low.

If you are a body corporate or Strata Manager, you can be assured ATCE will provide you with a professional report that is accurate and easy to read and understand.

You are not left in the dark...
ATCE only employ professionally qualified staff with experience to conduct inspections and prepare reports, so you can ask questions and know you are getting the right answer. We even provide you with ongoing technical advice and support if required.

Tax Depreciation
Are you making the most of tax benefits?
Many property owners are unaware of the potential tax benefits of their investment property. Do you know how you can take full advantage of your property's tax depreciation potential? ATCE can show you how...

There are substantial taxation benefits available to owners of all types of income producing properties. Remember this applies not only to new properties, older properties can also a depreciated.

Once you have your tax depreciation schedule, all you have to do is take it to your accountant, decide which depreciation method to use (either 'prime cost' or 'diminishing value' ) and lodge it with your tax return - it's that simple! Your tax depreciation schedule will remain valid for a 10 year period. So there is nothing further for you to do.

ATCE provides a cost efficient service by applying the latest Australian Taxation Office rulings and interpretations. This way you know you are receiving the maximum benefit within ATO regulations.

We also prepare indicative tax depreciation schedules for developers, builders and real estate agents, which can be used as a guide for the potential tax benefits of the property - what a great selling tool!

And... of course, the cost of the schedule is tax deductible.
