Expenses you can deduct
The expenses you can deduct from your rental income are:
the cost of insuring your rental property
the rates for the property
payments to agents who collect rent, maintain your rental, or find tenants for you
fees paid to an accountant for managing accounts, preparing tax returns and advice
repair and maintenance costs
fees for arranging a mortgage to finance the rental property
fees for drawing up a tenancy agreement
the cost of getting a valuation required to get a mortgage, but not insurance valuations
the costs of taking legal action to recover unpaid rent
the costs for evicting a tenant
mortgage repayment insurance
depreciation on capital expenses
travel expenses for travelling to inspect your property or to do repairs
legal fees involved in buying a rental property, as long as the expense is $10,000 or less.
You can also deduct interest on money you have borrowed to buy your rental property. You cannot deduct this if you have used some of the money:
for something else
to top up the mortgage for another purpose.
Please note that the Government intends to remove the ability to deduct interest from 1 October 2021 for loans used to acquire residential property (unless it's newly built property) on or after 27 March 2021. Interest deductions will be allowed for property acquired before 27 March 2021, but will be phased-out over 4 income years.作者: 北岛黑蜻蜓 时间: 2021-10-8 19:27:00
