Rental and Investment Property Tax FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers about rental property

If you’re a company, you’re not entitled to any capital gains tax discount and you’ll pay 30% tax on any net capital gains. Company may also be eligible for 27.5% discount on capital gains (conditions apply).  If you’re an individual, the rate paid is the same as your income tax rate for that year. If you have held the property for more than year you are eligible for 50% discount on capital gains. For SMSF, the tax rate is 15% and the discount is 33.3% (rather than 50% for individuals).

These expenses may include mortgage interest, land tax, operating expenses, council rates, body corporate rates, borrowing expenses, depreciation, and repairs. This may result in net loss in property which will offset your other income. Hence this will result in higher tax refund or less tax payable on other income. 

This is called positive geared property which means you have a net rental profilt after deducting all the expenses from the rent and hence it adds to your other income which may result in a tax payble  or it may reduce tax refund.
