    Hello Everyone,

    We have a investment property and I do tax returns myself and realised that in the last year's(year ending 30-Jun-2014) tax return I did not claim the immediate deduction for some of the items valued less than $300 in QS depreciation schedule and instead depreciated them using diminishing value method. I did the tax return with the investment property for the first time so lesson learnt.

    Now I am wandering, Is it possible to claim immediate deduction on these items on their Opening Adjustable Value for tax year ended 30-Jun-2015?
    or
    I will have to depreciate them again (or put them in low value pool) because I did not claim the immediate deduction the first time.

    Regards,
    Gaggi

    I did claim the depreciation on items <$300 but I could have immediately deducted them :(. so I am seeking some advice whether I can claim the immediate deduction on opening adjustable value of these items for the financial year 2015 Or I will have depreciate them again as I did the first time.
