    There is nothing you can claim if the property is your PPOR (the odd exception being if you work from home and claim a poprtion of the overall living area for business).

    If the PPOR became an IP during the year then the claim is proportional from the day the property was available for rent until the end of the financial year.

    The trade off is later on when you sell it and get a capital gains tax exemption on your main dwelling / PPOR

    Assuming you are in Australia then generally nothing unless your home has been used to produce income – eg renting out a room, farming, or use of an office for a work related activities.
