Note: Some of these items cost less than $500.00 and under section EE 38 of the Income Tax Act 2007 low cost items (not part of any other property) may be treated as an expense item rather than separate depreciable property. Other items not common to residential rental properties have been removed but taxpayers may use a depreciation rate for a similar item in another industry or asset category. 1. 2. 3.
