You say it costs $7k per annum to get $93k. (This i get).

But…If I earnt $100k i’d pay approx $50k in tax but I’d have $50k to call my own. With the $93k I use for living/investing, it’s is now a debt. $50k to call my own or $93K I owe. Maybe I’m missing the point but what’s the benefit of doing…[Read more]

I always ask to speak to management (go straight to the top). I then tell them in a very calm yet straight manner that I’m not satisfied and that if the problem does not get resolved I assert myself by saying “It’s a known fact that if you do a good job clients may tell a few…[Read more]

My question is:

Are any improvements tax deductable. Lets say you spent $10,000 over a year increasing the value of the property and you sold it at $50K profit then would your taxable income be reduced to $40K?

Thanking you
Ms Elvis

Thanks to all who replied. JV sounds pretty much what I had in mind. As a newbie to property investing I’m finding theres so much to learn. I would like to find out more about trusts just to learn about the tax benifits and whether or not it is the right thing for me. I suppose the best thing would be to talk to an accountant.

If anyone has done joint property ventures i’d like to hear some advice on what were some of the do’s and don’ts. Obviously setting up as a company may not be the best idea but i’m concerned it will be messy as far as the accounting side. What other options are there? Any advice is appreciated.

I’d definitely would much rather go for a PI loan but i feel it could leave me out of pocket. Not a good idea while my income/outgoings is low. I just wondered if IO loans were considered foolish. I can’t see another option tho for my situation.

Thanks for your input

Reading MiniMogul has given me food for thought…what confuses me is the statement “will then ‘only’ be 22.8 percent.” To me only 22.8 percent sounds like heaps so what I am asking is am I doing this wrong.
