Negative gearing is a popular tax strategy that gives investment property owners the ability to offset the cost of owning a property against their assessable income.
Negative gearing involves generating short to medium term tax losses, which arise from tax-deductible costs that are higher than investment income, and leveraging this to increase exposure to potential gains and losses.
It is a popular strategy due to its ability to reduce an investor’s taxable income through their tax losses, resulting in a lower annual income tax bill.
For example, if the rent of a property was $350 per week, and the property was fully tenanted for a full financial year, the rental income would be $18,200. If the deductible expenses for that year were $30,000, the net rental loss would be $11,800. The $11,800 loss can then be applied to reduce the property owner’s taxable income.
Under Australian income tax law, property owners can claim a tax deduction for any cost they incur if it is sufficiently connected to their investment property. Non-cash expenses, such as depreciation, can also be deducted. General tax deductions relating to rental income include:
Borrowing costs
Council rates and water fees
Depreciation on assets
Property inspections
Repairs and maintenance
While negative gearing carries many benefits to property owners, the strategy isn’t without pitfalls. Negatively geared property results in a loss, so before committing to the strategy, it is worth considering aspects like what will happen if you cannot fill your rental property at any one time, or if there is a dramatic turn down in property values and your investment fails to increase in value.
