  • Thanks Scott for such a prompt reply. You really clarify the issue for me.

    It is a relief that I don’t have to pay tax on the depreciation I claim on fixtures and fittings . :-)

    Thanks again,

  • Hi Scott

    I asked this question on another thread before, I wonder if you could clarify the query for me.

    “Any depreciation you have claimed on the building itself (not on the Fixtures and fittings within the building) must be deducted from the cost base when you are calculating your CGT. This increases the capital gain, so in effect you pay tax…[Read more]

    Depreciator,

    I have one query which I hope you can provide me with an answer.

    The question is “Do I have to add the depreciation I claimed on plants, eg hot water tank, back onto CG and then pay tax on it after I have sold the property.” I know I have to add the depreciation I claimed on bulding back on CG and pay tax on it.

    Regards,

    Hi Mel,

    Sorry to jump in and ask you a side step question about trust.

    My question is about the following paragraph and asset protection. [withstupid]

    “The trust is not on the title – trusts cannot own anything in their own right. The trustee will be on title – as it is holding the assets ‘in trust’ for the beneficiaries.”

    If trust is not on…[Read more]

    Thank Terryw. I have read the article again and I can understand that if the corporate trustee did something considered to be illegal, then he/she will be liable for it. I am just concerned about some accidents which could lead to the trustee liable for it.[eh]

    These stats are either not reliable or too late and is not reflection the current market.[baaa] Alan Kholer had written an article about all these stats. I could not find the link for this post. I think some suburbs are worse than these stats put out and I think market will continue to slide. Just wait till next time they put out the stats.

    johngee,

    If you want want to protect your asset, I guess you have to bite the bullet and use trust to hold your asset. Maybe someone can help you with other ideas on this forum.[:I]

    Hi Redwing,

    I also watched that show and the developer was the highest bidder. I don’t know he was considered as the winning bidder because the house was passed in.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    PS: I have learnt a lot from this forum and appreciate very much those who have done a lot of contributions to this forum

    I agree with some forumites about the RBA to increase interest rate for the sake of the whole economy. Everyone knows interest rate is at historic low and it will go back up one day (they can’t blame others) and interest rate can’t be kept low all the time in a boom time.
