As a landlord, you can reduce your tax bill by claiming deductible expenses against your rental income. These include costs like insurance, rates, repairs, maintenance, and professional fees for property managers and accountants.
The rules for interest deductibility are changing. The government plans to phase it back in, reaching an 80% deduction for the 2024/25 tax year and 100% from 2025/26. Due to this complexity, consulting a professional accountant is highly recommended to ensure compliance and maximise your returns.
