FAQs
You’re always welcome to call us if you have any more questions in mind.
Can you write off an office fitout?
Yes, office fitouts in Australia can be claimed as tax deductions through depreciation under ATO guidelines. Structural elements like walls and ceilings fall under Capital Works (Division 43) and can be depreciated at 2.5% per year over 40 years, while removable assets like furniture and equipment are deducted under Plant and Equipment (Division 40) at varying rates based on their effective life.
Small businesses may also qualify for immediate write-offs on eligible assets, depending on the current thresholds. Proper documentation and professional advice are essential to ensure compliance and maximize deductions.
What do accountants need in their office?
A modern accounting office fit-out should focus on functionality, technology, and aesthetics to create a productive workspace. Key features include:
- Flexible workspaces: Modular furniture for collaboration and individual tasks.
- Private zones: Soundproof meeting rooms and quiet spaces for focused work.
- Natural light and biophilic design: Maximising light and incorporating plants to boost mood and productivity.
- Ergonomic furniture: Adjustable chairs, sit-stand desks, and comfortable layouts.
To enhance efficiency and sustainability, include:
- Technology integration: High-speed internet, secure data systems, and video conferencing tools.
- Efficient storage: Custom solutions for files and equipment.
- Sustainable materials: Eco-friendly finishes and energy-efficient lighting.
- Branding and aesthetics: Designs that reflect your firm's identity and values.
Future-proofing: Flexible layouts that adapt to growth and hybrid work models.
How much does an accountancy office fitout cost?
Costs can vary depending on the size of your space, the number of workstations, meeting rooms, reception options, furniture and the finishes you choose. Here’s a guide to help you estimate:
- Basic Fit-Out: $800–$1000/m² – Standard partitions, basic lighting, and functional flooring.
- Mid-Range Fit-Out: $1000–$1,500/m² – Higher-quality materials, improved lighting, and enhanced finishes.
- High-End Fit-Out: $1,500–$2,000+/m² – Premium materials, custom joinery, and cutting-edge design.
For example, a 200m² accounting office with mid-range specifications would cost between $200,000 to $300,000 These figures include labour, materials, and compliance with Melbourne’s building standards. Building requirements differ by location, and costs can fluctuate depending on both the specific building and its engineering needs.
Should I refurbish my current accounting office fitout or start fresh?
Key Factors to Decide:
- Budget: New fit-outs tend to have higher upfront costs but offer greater customisation.
- Space Condition: Older spaces with extensive wear may require more work, closing the cost gap between refurbishment and new office fitouts.
- Goals: A refurbishment works well for minor upgrades, while a new accounting office is ideal for major overhauls or entirely new spaces.
General Rule of Thumb:
- If the space is structurally sound, configured well and fits your basic needs, a refurbishment can be a cost effective solution
- If the existing space doesn’t align with your requirements or needs a complete overhaul, a new fit-out may be the better investment
