Capital Claims Tax Depreciation is an Australian-owned quantity surveying and tax depreciation company, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Newcastle, New South Wales. The company provides tax depreciation schedules for residential, commercial, and hotel properties across Australia.

Capital Claims Tax Depreciation was co-founded in 2008 by Mark and Leah Wilkins in Newcastle, New South Wales. Mark Wilkins, a member of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) and a Certified Quantity Surveyor (CQS), had extensive experience in construction and quantity surveying when he co-founded the company. Wilkins co-founded the company in response to a need for detailed, Australian Taxation Office (ATO)-compliant tax depreciation schedules for property investors.

Since its founding, Capital Claims Tax Depreciation has produced over 25,000 tax depreciation schedules for property investors across Australia. The company works with accountants, real estate agents, conveyancers, property developers, and buyers’ agents to provide tax depreciation schedules for residential and commercial investment properties. It engages qualified and specially trained property inspectors across all Australian states.

The company has received referrals from major accounting firms, including PwC, DFK Everalls, and PKF, and has worked with brands such as Ray White, IGA, LJ Hooker, Stockland, McDonald’s, and KFC.

In 2018, Capital Claims partnered with Frasers Property Australia through the “My Prosperity Membership Rewards Program,” providing capital allowance and depreciation schedules to Frasers’ clients purchasing investment properties. The partnership included collaboration at expos, seminars, and other client engagement activities.
