I am in the process of building my first IP. Because I already have other existing non property deductions adding the depreciation would mean I wouldn't be paying any tax whatsoever. Now if I was to build another IP in the short term am I allowed to 'bank' most of my depreciation on this second IP till such a time when the depreciation tapers off on the first IP or do I lose some of this? My husband pays very little tax and that is unlikely to change in the long term so this first IP is in my name only. Thanks.

You can't bank it, but if when added to your existing income and deductions you have a loss, ie your taxable income is less than zero, you can carry forward the loss to the next year.
