If you’re negatively gearing a rental property, waiting until tax time for your refund can strain your cashflow.
A PAYG Withholding Variation (also called a Section 1515) allows you to receive that refund throughout the year by reducing the tax withheld from your wages.
At Bottrell Accountants & Tax Agents in Maitland, we prepare and lodge PAYG Variations for property investors — helping you boost your weekly income and ease financial pressure.
✔️ ATO-approved method to reduce tax withheld from your wages
✔️ Based on estimated rental property losses & deductions
✔️ Updated annually or as your circumstances change
✔️ Doesn’t affect your tax return — just brings the benefit forward
✔️ Lodged online with the ATO and automatically applied to your payroll
📌 Particularly effective if you own a negatively geared property or have other deductible investment losses.
✅ Calculate your expected property income & deductions
✅ Prepare and lodge your PAYG Variation with the ATO
✅ Advise your payroll/HR team on applying the variation
✅ Adjust your variation during the year if circumstances change
