Rental Properties – What can I claimWhat can I claim

So you’ve just purchased your investment property and you are now wondering what you can claim on your tax return. Following are some of the common and some overlooked deductions that are available.

Property must be available for rent

It is important that the property is available for rent. This doesn’t mean that the property has to have been rented but you have taken reasonable efforts to try and rent the property. Negotiations with agents, advertising in local papers and other such things go toward proving that you have made the property available for rent. This can be extremely important where you had the property vacant for some period of time and have to prove to the ATO that the property was available for rent. If the property was not available for rent then the expenses will need to be apportioned. You also need to be careful that the rent is not set so high that the property would generally not attract a tenant for the area in which it is located as the ATO could argue you have set the rent so high so as not to attract a tenant and therefore it was not available for rent.

Borrowing Expenses

You can claim borrowing expenses greater than $100 over a five year period or over the life of the loan whichever is the least. You can claim all of the following borrowing costs

• stamp duty charged on mortgage (note this is not the stamp duty on purchase of the property)

• loan establishment fees

• title search fees charged by the lender

• costs for preparing and filing the mortgage documents

• mortgage broker fees

• valuation fees for loan approval

• lender’s mortgage insurance

It is important in the first year that you don’t claim the full amount amortised over the five year period but you will need to apportion the first years borrowing costs over the number of days between the date you took out the loan and the end of that particular financial year. Another common mistake is either not claiming the borrowing costs at all or claiming them all in the first year the loan is taken out.

Travel Expenses

You can claim travel associated with

• preparing the property for new tenants (except for new tenants)

• inspecting the property during and at the end of the tenancy

• maintaining the property

• collecting the rent

• visiting the agent to discuss the property

• undertaking repairs to the property

If the trip also included some element of private purposes then it is extremely important to understand what can be claimed and what cannot. If you have travelled for a holiday and on that holiday you visited your property then the cost of travelling to the destination and returning will be incidental to the inspection of the property and none of the travel will be deductible. You may however be able to claim a proportion of accommodation expenses and so documentation will be extremely important.

Depreciation and Capital Allowances

This can be significant to the property investor as it allows you to claim a deduction against your income without having to actually pay out physical cash. We believe it is extremely important to obtain a quantity surveyors report (sometimes referred to as a depreciation schedule) to ensure you have claimed all relevant depreciation and capital allowance deductions.

Interest Expenses

This can be quite a complex area and a seperate blog covering some of these issues will be posted in the future discussing some of the challenges with interest expenses. At a very basic level it is extremely important to try and keep your investment and personal (home loan, car loans, etc) separate as combining them into one loan can result in losses of deductions and extra accounting fees involved in determining the appropriate deductible amounts. In worst cases the entire amount may be non deductible (refer Domjan’s case). It is important before purchasing any new investment to discuss the structuring of your loans with your accountant and adviser to ensure it is structured to maximise your tax benefits.

Repairs and Maintenance

It is important to distinguish between a repair and improvement as the deductibility is very different. A repair replaces a part of something or corrects something that is already there and has become worn out or dilapidated. It’s usually occasional or partial, and restores something to its original efficiency. Repairs make good damage which has occurred through normal wear and tear, or by accidental or deliberate damage or the effects of natural causes. Note however that repairs are generally partial. Replacing a faulty filter in a dishwasher may be a repair; replacing the dishwasher generally is not. You may be able to claim an immediate deduction for expenditure on repairs if you’re using your property to generate income. However, if you’re claiming repairs as a deduction, you must be aware there is a difference between a repair and an improvement, as you can not claim an immediate deduction for improvements. However, you may be able to claim a capital works deduction for improvements. Although there is a

difference between ‘maintenance’ and a repair, you may generally claim an immediate deduction for maintenance costs.

This is an area which causes a lot of confusion and an area which many people get wrong. If you have concerns then consult us prior to making your decisions.

Other Expenses

Other things to keep a record of for claims include advertising, accounting fees, travel to the accountants, bank charges, body corporate fees, cleaning, commissions, electricity, fees, gardening, hire, insurance, land tax, letting fees, linen, postage, printing, rates, repairs and maintenance.

Remember keep all records related to your investment property and if in doubt consult your tax adviser before making your decisions so that you get things right and don’t miss out on your deductions.

Corporate Tax Competition for Investment $154.53 Tax competition models show taxation as a key variable in investment location decisions. Countries reduce taxation to attract firms. Firms locate their investments where the net return on capital is higher due to a lower tax burden. But tax competition is not optimal because the lowering of the tax burden causes an inefficient allocation of capital and provision of public goods. Thus, tax policies in an economic area such as the European Union should be coordinated. This book presents a behavioural approach where both uncertainty and the cognitive characteristics of managers have a central role. Investment location decisions are shown to be significantly explained by heuristics arising from the uncertainty faced by managers, while the role of taxation appears to be less significant than it is usually assumed. Therefore, not only countries should reconsider emphasizing taxation when implementing policies to attract investment but the main argument for corporate tax integration in the EU simply vanishes. The book may help managers dealing with investment decisions, public officials designing incentives to attract firms and lecturers in international economics or management.

Property Tax in the United States $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Property tax or real estate tax in the United States is usually levied by local government on real estate, at the municipal or county level. Rates vary across the states, between about 0.2 and 4 of the home value, with a rate 2 to 3 (after reductions) being the most widely spread. The assessment is made up of two componentsthe improvement or building value, and the land or site value. In some states, personal property is also taxed. A tax assessor is a public official who determines the value of real property for the purpose of apportioning the tax levy. An appraiser may work for government or private industry and may determine the value of real property for any purpose. When assessing a residence, the appraiser investigates the selling prices of all other similar houses in the area, the cost of replacing it if it gets destroyed, and the most appropriate price that the house should sell for.

Property Tax Reform in Developing Countries $232.6 Property Tax Reform in Developing Countries provides a conceptual framework for property tax reform with the intention of making the most compelling argument possible to persuade the reader as to its validity. The text claims that a model for property tax reform in developing countries is derived from a theoretical distillation of empirical experience. The primary objective of this study is to establish, through logic, theory and observation: what constitutes a good property tax system, for whom, and under what conditions; why such a system works; and how inferior systems can be upgraded to approximate wellfunctioning systems. Property Tax Reform in Developing Countries develops its examination in three stages. First, a conceptual framework is presented for the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of property tax reform in developing countries. Second, attempts to reform property taxation in four developing countries are examined in detail. Finally, the results of the reform efforts described in the four case studies are evaluated and guidelines for reform are offered. The study concludes with specific recommendations for reforming property tax systems in developing countries, based on the conceptual framework and synthesizing lessons of the case studies.

Inheritance Tax $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An inheritance tax (also known as an estate tax or death duty) is a tax which arises on the death of an individual. It is a tax on the estate, or total value of the money and property, of a person who has died. In international tax law, there is a distinction between an estate tax and an inheritance tax: an estate tax taxes the personal representatives of the deceased, while an inheritance tax taxes the beneficiaries of the estate. However this distinction is not always respected. For example, the inheritance tax in the UK is a tax on personal representatives, and is therefore, strictly speaking, an estate tax.

Offshore Investment $119.48 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Offshore investment is the keeping of money in a jurisdiction other than ones country of residence. Offshore jurisdictions are a commonly accepted solution to reducing tax burdens levied in most countries to both large and small scale investors alike. Selected offshore domiciles may serve as havens for tax evasion, money laundering, or to conceal or protect illegally acquired money from law enforcement in the investors country. They also allow legitimate investors to take advantage of higher rates of return or lower rates of tax on that return offered by operating via such domiciles. The advantage to offshore investment is that such operations are both legal and less costly than the solutions offered in the investors country or onshore. Locations favored by investors for low rates of tax are known as offshore financial centers or (sometimes) tax havens. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Tax Exemption $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A tax exemption is an exemption from all or certain taxes of a state or nation in which part of the taxes that would normally be collected from an individual or an organization are instead foregone. Normally a tax exemption is provided to an individual or organization which falls within a class which the government wishes to promote economically, such as charitable organizations. Tax exemptions are usually meant to either reduce the tax burden on a particular segment of society in the interests of fairness or to promote some type of economic activity through reducing the tax burden on those organizations or individuals who are involved in that activity. Typical tax exemption criteria used include: age of the individual paying tax, public services which the individual has performed, ownership of types of property (homeowners, farmers), geographic location of property, income level of the individual paying the tax, or the value of the property being taxed.

Capital Mobility and Tax Competition $71.7 Tax competition and coordination is one of the most pressing issues for tax authorities in modern economies, but it is a highly controversial subject. Some argue that tax competition is beneficial by forcing governments to impose efficient tax prices on residents for the provision of public services. Further, some argue that tax competition is also beneficial by limiting the power of governments to levy taxes. Others take a different view in a world without coordinated tax policies, governments choose suboptimal levels of public services financed by inefficient taxes that are either too high or too low by ignoring spillovers imposed on other jurisdictions. Capital Mobility and Tax Competition draws out the most important issues of uncoordinated tax policy at the international level for crossborder transactions. The discussion focuses on mobile tax bases, specifically in relation to investment and financial transactions. The main issue for consideration in this survey is whether taxation of income, specifically capital income will survive, how border crossing investment is taxed relative to domestic investment, and whether welfare gains can be achieved through international tax coordination. This survey derives some of the key results on the taxation of international investment in variants of one model of multinational investment. Finally, the authors emphasize the problem of tax competition and financial arbitrage, an issue which is somewhat neglected in the existing survey literature.

The estate tax is one part of the Unified Gift and Estate Tax system in the United States. The other part of the system, the gift tax, imposes a tax on transfers of property during a persons life; the gift tax prevents avoidance of the estate tax should a person want to give away his/her estate.

Policies and Private Investment $124.27 There is no shortage of books and studies that regard investment as an important catalyst for accelerated economic development. As a result, developing countries that are ambitious for economic prosperity are strongly encouraged to prioritize investment in their national development strategy. There is often little information on which policies and their magnitude of change that can be most effective in a particular context. Using the Malawian economy, this book provides a timely insight into what fiscal and monetary policies can achieve with respect to a least developed economy. A modified neoclassical model estimated by the linear Generalised Method of Moments and panel data is used to derive important findings on the impact of government consumption, public infrastructure, corporate tax, lending rates and corporate tax on private investment. The analysis provides useful insight into modern investment modeling, econometric estimation techniques, policy results and should be useful to policy makers, professionals and scholars in development related institutions across the world.

Excise Tax in the United States $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Excise tax, sometimes called an excise duty, is a type of tax. In the United States, the term excise means: (A) any tax other than a property tax or capitation (i.e., an indirect tax, or excise, in the constitutional law sense), or (B) a tax that is simply called an excise in the language of the statute imposing that tax (an excise in the statutory law sense). An excise under definition (A) is not necessarily the same as an excise under definition (B). Excise taxes are often seen as a tax on items like gasoline, tobacco and alcohol (sometimes referred to as sin taxes). The tax is usually a flat amount for a certain quantity of the item (for example, the state of Pennsylvania charges 1.60 for a pack of 20 cigarettes, which is on top of the federal cigarette excise of 1.01).

The Guatemalan Tax Reform $53.3 Responding to a deepening economic crisis, serious structural problems with the tax system, a long and deepseated opposition to even modest tax increases, and a weak tax administration, the Guatemalan government introduced a comprehensive tax reform program in 1992. In this concise volume, Roy Bahl, Jorge MartinezVazquez, and Sally Wallace review the data that supported the creation of the reform program and evaluate the first round of revenues and taxburden effects.Focusing their theoretical and empirical analysis on revenue yield impacts, on effects of relative prices and relative tax treatment of different types of companies, and on the distribution of tax burdens by income class, the authors factor in individual and company income taxes, valueadded tax, taxes on international trade, and property tax. In each case, they describe the existing tax system and evaluate it against the traditional norms; in addition, they analyze alternative structural reforms within the Guatemalan context.Comprehensive tax reforms in less developed countries are infrequent, and the Guatemalan experience provides a fascinating case study of how modern analytic techniques can be used by policymakers to formulate tax structure changes. The authors also draw contrasts with experiences in other countries and revisit many of the principles that have been laid down for guiding tax reforms in developing nations.

Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship $233.03 The papers in this volume represent some of the leading work on intellectual property. They address the question of how to create incentives to develop new technologies and how to protect those technologies once developed from theft. They also ask when valuable property might be developed even under weak ownership conditions. Other papers address how firms balance the tradeoffs in considering costly patent litigation and they examine the antitrust implications. Although issues of intellectual property rights would seem to be ones of interest only to obscure groups of academics and lawyers, they have become topics of everyday discussion among the regular population. Alleged copyright infringements by people downloading music from the internet and accompanying threats of prosecution as well as charges of strategic patenting to harm competitors in recent high profile antitrust cases have placed intellectual property into public and political debate. The incentives provided by secure property rights for promoting research and development, investment, production, and exchange are well known. These are the major arguments for patents, copyrights and other forms of intellectual property.

Investment Strategy and State and Local Economic Policy $165.95 State governments are ultimately competitors in their economic policies when people, products and capital are free to move across state borders. Nowhere is this competition more apparent than in the United States where individual states compete to promote economic growth by attracting industry with tax holidays, outright grants, subsidized financing and other means. Yet, the arguably greater influence of state fiscal policy on investment decisions has largely been ignored. This book redresses that deficiency by providing a collection of chapters which discuss the theoretical and practical linkage between investment strategy and state economic policy. Specifically, it uses changes in relative state burdens as a measure of state fiscal policy and shows that by altering the incentives to work, save and invest, changes in a states tax burden relative to other states influence decisions on whether, how much and where to invest. The book is divided into three parts. The first section provides the theoretical framework for the book and discusses application of the basic model to explain the persistent differences in observed real income across states; the level of economic activity; and business starts and failures. The second section discusses, among other things, the implications of changes in state economic policy for investments in real estate; common stocks of small capitalization firms; and state general obligation bonds. The third section of the book, which examines the political dimensions of state economic policy, begins with a discussion of the effect of state economic policy on relative population shifts and reapportionment and ends with a proposal for a flat tax.

Tax Policy for Joint Ventures in Global Market $97.19 As an integral part of the globalization process, international joint venture (IJV) has become a very popular and important mode for accessing foreign markets. One of the most interesting and important issue in the analysis of JVs is how profits are shared between the partners. Many existing papers use the bargaining approach. Unlike the normal methodology in the existing literature, this book displays a nonbargaining threestage model to examine this question in three different markets. The result shows that with an optimal tax approach, no matter in a single market, or in an integrated market, or in a segmented market, the domestic partner always seizes more than 50 of profit share even without any bargain power. This book should provide an alternative view for policy makers in developing countries to attract and control foreign investments, and for scholars and advanced students who research on the field of foreign direct investment and international joint venture.
