When you sell an asset (let’s say a property), you will do so at a profit, a loss, or you’ll come out even. If you’re lucky enough to come out with a profit, that profit you receive is called your Capital Gain. When you complete your tax return, you’re required to report your Capital Gains as well as your Capital Losses, but you only pay tax on your Capital Gains (i.e. when you’ve made a profit). This is called Capital Gains Tax (CGT).
While negative gearing is a method commonly applied to rental properties, it can in fact be applied to any type of investment. Essentially, negative gearing is when you borrow money to invest (let’s use the example of property), and you operate at a loss, i.e. your rental income is less than what it costs you to hold the property. When it comes to rental properties, there are a number of things you can claim as a deduction in an effort to boost your costs and come out “negatively geared”.

Let’s not sugar coat it – each year we pay large sums in taxes (some more than others depending on what you earn…. AND what you can claim). You earnt it, so we want to help you keep it (well, as much of it as possible). Ultimately, that comes down to knowing what you can and should be claiming, and that’s where we come in.

There’s no denying that the onset of Covid-19 has led to some dramatic changes to the way we work. Whether you’ve had to learn to operate as a remote workforce, gained your black belt in time management due to the constant juggle of work and home school, or if you’ve had to reposition your products or services for new markets due to ongoing restrictions. These are just some of the challenges our workforces have been faced with over a long couple of years.
