Why Choose Rick & Mon
Helping You Build Wealth Through Better Financial Decisions
Property taxation legislation continues to evolve, and even seemingly straightforward investment decisions can have complex tax implications. While many investors focus on rental income and property growth, decisions relating to ownership structures, deductible expenses, depreciation, Capital Gains Tax and future investment planning can significantly influence long-term financial outcomes.
Professional property tax advice provides more than compliance—it provides confidence. Understanding the taxation consequences before making important investment decisions allows you to plan effectively, minimise avoidable tax liabilities and build a stronger financial foundation for future investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best time is before purchasing, selling or restructuring a property investment. Early advice often creates more planning opportunities and helps avoid costly tax mistakes.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim expenses such as loan interest, council rates, insurance, property management fees, repairs, depreciation and maintenance. Eligibility depends on how the property is used and current Australian tax legislation.
The most suitable ownership structure depends on your financial goals, asset protection needs, future investment plans and tax circumstances. Professional advice before purchasing can help ensure the structure aligns with your long-term objectives.
Many investment property owners may be eligible to claim depreciation on eligible building components and assets. A depreciation schedule prepared by a qualified quantity surveyor is often required to maximise available deductions.
Negative gearing occurs when the deductible expenses associated with an investment property exceed the rental income it generates. Depending on your circumstances, these losses may help reduce your taxable income.
GST obligations vary depending on the nature of the property transaction. Residential properties, commercial properties and property developments are treated differently under Australian GST legislation.
