    If I'm replacing kitchen/dining vinyl due to general wear and tear from tenants over time, is this claimed as an immediate tax deduction or is it a capital expense? The original vinyl is remaining in the front entrance area so there is 2 different vinyls and patterns. Also, if I keep some bond for cleaning not done, can I just right the amounts off against each other and not record it, or is it an ATO requirement to record the retained bond as income, and then claim the cleaning expenses as a deduction? Any advice appreciated.IJC

    It'll be deemed a capital expense and yes you will have to declare the bond amount as a revenue if you use e-tax there is a box for non rental income.

    The Dark Knight is spot on.  Have to declare it as non-rental income.
