Common rental property tax faqs

cAN I CLAIM INTEREST ON MY HOME LOAN?

  • You can only claim the interest portion of loans which are related to an investment property - we can help you calculate this correctly.

What’s the deal with depreciation?

  • Depreciation lets you claim the wear and tear on your property and its assets. We can arrange a depreciation schedule through a qualified quantity surveyor.

What if my property is negatively geared?

  • No problem, we can ensure your rental loss is applied correctly to reduce your taxable income.

I use Airbnb for part of the year - does that count?

  • Yes, short-term rental income is taxable. We’ll help you report it properly and claim eligible expenses.
