As investors in rental property you naturally must claim your rental property expenses against your rental income, to reflect accurately your tax obligations. Baxton Property Management in Hobart has split this very important section of the tax regulations into three sections to give you the necessary information in its on-going series on the tax implications of rental properties.
There are three basic subdivisions into which deductions are split.
In this article we will examine the category of immediate deductions. Of all the subdivisions in deductions this one is the largest and we won’t be able to deal with this category in one article. We have broken down the deductions in this category into broad subdivisions, and will deal with complex topic over two or three articles. The following lists provide an overview of items that can be deducted immediately. We will look at some of the more complex issues in greater depth in future articles.
This is the simplest of the subdivisions to understand. The list of deductions is quite self-explanatory. The only anomaly in this category is capital works deductions. Suffice it to say that capital works deductions are subject to certain conditions and are generally split over several years. This will fall into another section of the series.
Most repairs and maintenance to deal with normal wear and tear, and to make sure the premises are habitable for a tenant, can be claimed immediately. However, they must be directly related to damage that occurred because you rented out the property, and because it continues to be rented out on an on-going basis.
Claims may still be possible even if the property is available for rental but standing empty for a short period because of cancelled bookings or because advertising doesn’t succeed in bringing in a tenant. If you no longer rent out the property, they may still count as deductibles, if the cost of the repairs was incurred while it was rented out.
The important thing to note here, is that you may only claim these expenses if you incurred them yourself, and not if the tenant incurred them.
