Capital Works Deduction
In MYOB Practice Online Tax, there is no worksheet for the capital works deduction.
As a result, I assume I need to use the Assets area to reflect the capital works expenditure.
I have tried to reflect the following in assets for a client, and have been unable to do so as it does not allow me to put in a written down value:
Asset: Initial Construction Cost
Date Constructed: 1st July 1997
Construction Cost: $157,228
Date Property Purchased by Client: 12th August 2024
Opening Written Down Value on Purchase: $50,666
Effective Life: 40 Years
Depreciation Method: Prime Cost
Depreciation Rate: 2.5%
Depreciation - 12th August 2024 to 30th June 2025: $3,478
Can you advise if I need to use assets for the capital works deduction calculation for tax online and, if yes, how do I reflect the details above in assets so it will calculate the correct depreciation for me for the 2025 tax year and, at the same time, track the correct amount of written down value for the capital works expenditure for future tax years (important to ensure depreciation past the 40 years is not calculated)?
Kind regards
