TAS Not claiming depreciation do I claim upgrades all at once?

Hello,

I am in the process of completing tax return for FY 20/21. During the year we purchased an older IP and I had an assessment done for the home to see if it would be worth establishing a depreciation schedule but apparently it wasn’t due to the age of carpets, curtains, etc. etc. my question is, I purchased carpets for $3100 during this FY. Can I claim the whole amount on this years tax return or do I need to stagger out the claim over XX years?? Any advice would be great, thanks so much.

 

You generally couldn't claim it in full, but would have to depreciate over the expected life of the carpet
