Hi,
We have a property in NSW that is held 80% mine 20% husband.  We have been salary sacrificing the mortgage payments and utilising the otherwise deductible rule.  With the announcement from the government in the last budget that this rule will stop in March 09, we were wondering if anybody else has done this and what they will be doing next.  The question is has anyone heard what will be the cost of changing ownership back to 100% to the higher wage earner now that this rule is out.  We would appreciate any thoughts

Stamp duty, legal fees, capital gains tax.  Can you prepay any interest before March 09?

There was a rule which allowed the interest and expenses a jointly owned property to be claimed by the highest income earner by using salary sacrifice. The loophole has been closed now.
