While CGT can’t always be avoided, there are strategies to reduce it, like holding the property for over 12 months to access the 50% discount, offsetting capital losses, and timing your sale strategically. At Tax Stuff, we’ll help you make smart, compliant decisions to minimise CGT and maximise your return.
In accounting terms, an investment property is real estate held to earn rental income or capital growth, not for personal use. Tax Stuff ensures your property is correctly classified for reporting and compliance, helping you get the most out of your investment.
Smart tax strategies can make property investment more affordable and profitable. This includes claiming deductions like interest, depreciation, and maintenance. Tax Stuff can help you leverage tax benefits to grow your property portfolio with confidence.
Stamp duty isn’t immediately deductible, but it may be included in your property’s cost base for CGT purposes. That means it can reduce your capital gains when you sell. Our team at Tax Stuff will ensure all costs are correctly applied to maximise your tax outcomes.
CGT is calculated by subtracting your property’s cost base (including purchase price and eligible costs) from the sale price. If held over 12 months, a 50% discount may apply. Tax Stuff will guide you through the calculation and help you reduce the amount legally owed.
Yes, land tax is generally deductible as an expense for your investment property. At Tax Stuff, we’ll make sure you’re claiming all allowable deductions to improve your cash flow and overall return.
