Headline> Are You Paying Too Much Tax?
Welcome to the end of the 09/10 Financial Year.
Paying tax is something we all need to do but none of us like to do.
Next tax time you could be adopting legitimate tax minimisation strategies reducing your tax burden whilst building a strong investment property portfolio.
Find out how…
===========================
Before reading this article you should always seek proper, independent financial advice before making any investment decision.
With tax time looming we will all be doing our tax returns and probably realising one thing – we are paying too much tax.
Tax is not a bad thing – someone has to pay for our roads, schools and other infrastructure, but there are legitimate ways to reduce your tax by using the money for something more worthwhile like building an investment property portfolio.
We get questions all the time – how can you own a property for under $30 per week? Why so little?
Well one strategy is Negative Gearing.
<sub head> What Is Negative Gearing?
Negative gearing strategy in Australia is motivated by our tax regime, which allows deduction of ongoing losses against taxed income. This is further offset by taxing capital gains at a lower rate.
This might sound complicated but in reality it isnt.
<Sub Head> How It Works!
You purchase a property and incur costs on that property – these costs include third party expenses, loan interest and set up costs.
If the costs on the property are greater than the (rental) income generated you will technically be incurring a loss on that investment.
But the story continues…
<sub head> You Earn An Income? This Is How It works
In Australia the losses made on property are able to be weighted against your taxable income.
You will need to have a clear picture of your costs versus income to know your losses – costs include depreciation, setup costs, mortgage costs and interest, ongoing maintenance and property costs such as rates. Just like your personal income – you can claim anything that contributes to the generation of income in your property.
All Portfolios properties come to you with a clear understanding of the costs involved so you make an educated decision on the potential for negative gearing of the property before purchasing.
Your capacity to cover the loss is an important factor in determining the right deal.
<sub head> So If It Is  A Loss Why Do It?
There are a number of reasons why people consider negative gearing as an option for their property investment strategy from straight tax minimisaton through to the great investment returns to be made on the property.
Many of the Portfolios properties are expected to return in excess of 250% return on investment giving you some of the best returns in any market.
Property is a great investment, but like any investment there is risk and you should seek proper independent financial advice.
Talk to Portfolios and see how we can help you make those steps to a future in property investment.
