Common Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I switch structures mid-way through owning properties?
Yes, often via inter-entity transfers or rollovers, but timing and costs matter. We assess whether it’s beneficial in each case.
Q: Does negative gearing always reduce my tax?
Only if your deductions exceed rent and holding costs. We run cash flow models and consider your broader tax position.
Q: Are depreciation claims still valid on older properties?
Yes, both capital works and plant & equipment may still apply, depending on your purchase date and renovations.
Q: What if my portfolio is close to the NSW land tax threshold?
We help you model land tax exposure and explore structuring, aggregation or strategic sales to mitigate it.
Q: How much does this advisory cost?
We offer tailored service packages depending on size / complexity. Contact us for a proposal tailored to your situation.
