Schedule F, Improvements to rented land

I hired a contractor to install a permanent waterline and tank on ground that I rent. Since I don't own the land and have no guaranteed written contract,  can I deduct the full cost as custom hire instead of depreciating it under capital expense? Thanks

When you enter your Business Asset, you will be able to select which depreciation method you wish to use.
