Can you believe it is that time of the year again...? Well you better believe it is! As we all know, tax time can be a little stressful, but here are a few tips that we feel will take the stress away and guide you.
Don’t leave money on the table! Make sure to claim all allowable deductions such as property management fees, maintenance costs, insurance and advertising for tenants
If you haven’t already, consider engaging a quantity surveyor to provide a depreciation schedule. This can significantly boost your tax return by claiming wear and tear on the property and its fixtures.
Ensure all invoices, receipts and statements are well-documented and easy to access. Your property manager can provide a full EOFY summary to make tax time easier.
EOFY is a great time to reassess your investment goals. Consider whether your current rental income, expenses, and market position align with your long-term plans.
A quick meeting with your accountant can ensure you’re maximising your return and aware of any recent legislative changes that may impact your property investments
