Frequently Asked Questions
What is negative gearing?
Negative gearing occurs when your investment property expenses (interest, maintenance, depreciation, etc.) exceed the rental income. The resulting loss can be offset against your other income, reducing your total tax.
How much tax do you save from negative gearing?
Your tax saving equals the net rental loss multiplied by your marginal tax rate. For example, a $15,000 net loss at a 37% marginal rate saves $5,550 in tax. Higher income earners save more per dollar of loss.
What expenses can I claim on an investment property?
Deductible expenses include mortgage interest, council rates, water rates, insurance, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, depreciation of the building and fixtures, and landlord insurance.
Is depreciation a real expense?
Depreciation is a non-cash deduction for the decline in value of the building and its fixtures. While you do not pay it out of pocket, it reduces your taxable income. A quantity surveyor can prepare a depreciation schedule for your property.
