Maximise Your Property Investment With Tax & Structuring Advice

Investing in property can be a powerful wealth-building strategy, but without the right tax and structuring advice, you could be missing out on key opportunities to minimise tax liabilities and protect your assets. At Lemonade Beach Accounting, we provide specialist advice tailored to property investors, ensuring you get the most from your investments while remaining compliant with tax regulations.

How We Help Property Investors

Investment Property Tax Planning

Effective tax planning is essential to maximising returns on your property investment. Our team helps you navigate complex tax laws and identify opportunities to legally reduce your tax obligations.

  • Maximising Deductions – Claim all eligible expenses, including depreciation, interest, and property-related costs.
  • Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Strategies – Plan ahead to understand and minimise CGT when selling investment properties.
  • Negative Gearing vs. Positive Gearing – Understand the tax benefits and risks of different investment strategies.
  • ATO Compliance – Ensure your tax reporting is accurate and meets ATO requirements
Structuring for Asset Protection & Tax Efficiency

Choosing the right structure for your property investment can significantly impact your tax position, liability protection, and long-term financial outcomes.

  • Individual vs. Company vs. Trust Ownership – We assess the best structure for your investment goals.
  • Land Tax & Stamp Duty Considerations – Avoid unexpected tax burdens with strategic structuring.
  • Estate Planning & Succession – Plan for the future with asset protection strategies that safeguard your legacy.
  • Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) & Property – Understand how SMSFs can invest in property and the tax advantages involved.

Please note, at Lemonade Beach we assist SMSF trustees with the administration and tax compliance of their investment properties. While we do not set up SMSFs, we do provide ongoing support for established funds.

    FAQS

    Have another question not answered below? Feel free to reach out at [email protected]

    Q: What expenses can I claim on my investment property?

    You can typically claim expenses such as loan interest, council rates, maintenance costs, property management fees, and depreciation. We help ensure you claim all eligible deductions.

    Q: How can I minimise capital gains tax (CGT) when selling an investment property?​

    Strategies include holding the property for more than 12 months to access the CGT discount, utilising capital losses, and structuring ownership effectively. We provide tailored CGT planning advice.

    Q: What happens if I don’t lodge my BAS on time?

    Failing to lodge your BAS by the due date can result in late fees, penalties, and interest charges from the ATO. Working with a registered agent like Lemonade Beach ensures your BAS is prepared and lodged on time and accurately.

    Q: Is negative gearing beneficial for property investors?

    Negative gearing can reduce taxable income by offsetting rental losses against other income. However, it depends on your financial goals and circumstances. We assess the best approach for you.

    Q: Should I buy an investment property in my personal name, a trust, or a company?​

    Each structure has different tax and asset protection implications. We analyse your situation to determine the most tax-efficient and secure ownership structure.

      Q: Can my Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) buy an investment property?

      Yes, SMSFs can invest in property under specific conditions and it is advised that you seek professional advice from your financial planner if this is a strategy you’d like to explore.

      If you have an already established SMSF, we can help ensure compliance with superannuation laws and structure your investment for tax efficiency.
