Frequently Asked Questions
 Under ATO guidelines, you can generally claim deductions for interest on investment loans, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, council rates, insurance, depreciation on assets and building works, and more. FinTax Partners ensures all legitimate deductions are claimed in your annual tax return.
 Negative gearing occurs when your rental property’s deductible expenses (including loan interest) exceed the rental income received. The net loss can be offset against your other income, reducing your overall tax payable. FinTax Partners provides advice on maximising and correctly applying negative gearing benefits.
 When you sell an investment property in Australia, any capital gain is included in your assessable income. If you’ve held the property for more than 12 months, you may be eligible for the 50% CGT discount. FinTax Partners provides proactive CGT planning to minimise your tax liability on sale.
The right ownership structure depends on your income level, asset protection needs, and long-term strategy. Options include individual ownership, joint tenants, tenants-in-common, a discretionary trust, or purchasing through an SMSF. FinTax Partners provides tailored structuring advice for QLD property investors.
