INVESTORS SET SIGHTS ON DAYLESFORD: THE BLOCK HOUSES DELIVER MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR TAX DEDUCTIONS

BMT Tax Depreciation

Key Facts:

·         Multi-million-dollar tax breaks: Each The Block 2025 home offers $5.4m–$6m in depreciation deductions.

·         Cash flow boost: Buyers can claim over $236k in the first year, with one property topping $275k.

·         Investment edge: With price guides from $3m, the deductions could outweigh purchase costs, making the homes unrivalled investor opportunities.

 

The 2025 season of The Block has delivered more than designer homes and dramatic reveals. This year’s five luxury builds in Daylesford, Victoria come with a hidden financial bonus that could eclipse their sale prices: millions of dollars in tax depreciation deductions.

Built from identical blueprints but transformed by each team’s creativity, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom properties are expected to generate between $5.4 million and $6 million in claimable depreciation deductions over their lifetimes, according to BMT Tax Depreciation – Australia’s leading property depreciation specialist. With price guides starting at $3 million, the deductions alone make these houses unrivalled investment opportunities.

Turning luxury into investment power

The Australian Taxation Office allows property investors to claim depreciation deductions for the natural wear and tear of buildings and their assets. While all investment properties offer deductions, newly built and fully furnished homes like those on The Block maximise returns by allowing buyers to claim both capital works (Division 43) and plant and equipment (Division 40) items.

Bradley Beer, CEO of BMT, said:
"Every dollar claimed in tax depreciation reduces taxable income, which means more money stays in the buyer’s hands. For The Block properties, the deductions don’t just offset the cost – they can outweigh it entirely. That’s an extraordinary edge for investors."

The standout numbers

• Sonny & Alicia’s modern industrial home: $5,934,256 total deductions, with the highest first-year claim of $275,802.
• Robby & Matt’s park-side property: $5,670,416 in deductions.
• Britt & Taz’s entertainer’s haven: $5,641,533.
• Emma & Ben’s country-style design: $5,474,110.
• Han & Cam’s spa-inspired retreat: $5,465,637.

Across all five properties, the average first-year claim tops $236,000, giving buyers a significant cash-flow advantage from day one.

Two decades of partnership

BMT has partnered with The Block for 20 years, providing buyers with the expert depreciation schedules needed to unlock the full tax benefits of their investment properties.

"For buyers, understanding the true financial value of these deductions is game-changing," said Beer. "It turns prestige properties into powerful, high-yielding investments."
