    Dear All,

    Just another quick question please…

    Theoretically, if you co-own an IP all expenses, income and tax deductions need to be apportioned accordingly.

    However, what if the ownership is 5% and 95%. The 5% owner acts a guarantor only, so all expenses and income related to the IP are paid for / received by the 95%owner and can be traced back to the 95% owner only. There is no mixed financial arrangement among the owners, just the ownership as well.

    I reckon the 95% owner should be able to get all the tax deductions as well? Is that correct?

    Thanx and looking forward to your responses,

    Where a property is held as Tennants in Common as above the apportionment of the expenses and income is as per the Transfer document.

    In the example you have shown 95 / 5% is correct as is the way the deduction would be calculated.

    Hi Richard,

    Thanx for the response, however I still am confused.

    So even if the 5% owner has not paid anything nor received anything and totally separated financial arrangement, he/she is still entitled to 5% of tax deductions?

    Many thanx,
    Cattleya
