Jim is an investment property owner. He purchased his first investment property 2 years ago (a house, built in 2008), last year he purchased a brand new medium/high spec home (built 2016) and recently his third property (a unit, built in 2012). So far Jim has seen exceptional return from renting his properties, his Accountant however has now let Jim know his three properties could be saving him money on his tax.
Luckily for Jim, he has been referred to LEAD Consultants, who are Qualified Quantity Surveyors, the only licenced profession able to complete Tax Depreciation Schedules.
Jim is very happy with the service and professionalism of LEAD. He is even more happy when LEAD lets him know that his Tax Depreciation Schedule for his first property (the house) will be backdated to the date of purchase and that Jim (through his Accountant) can amend his previous two years tax returns to include the savings he has previously missed out on*.
Here are Jim's tax savings for these three properties listed above:

Approximate taxable % - 30.13%
