Investment property tax changes

With the government recently narrowing the type of property deductions residential investors can claim, getting your taxes right just got more complicated.


If you own an investment property, there’s lots to consider when it comes to end of financial year. If you’re receiving rent, we make sure we factor in a proportion of ownership interest and market rates to declare in the year received. We also deduct the interest paid on your purchasing loan and apportion interest for private expenses in your line of credit.
