    Hi

    I built a unit in my back yard last year and rent it out as investment property. Can I claim tax deduction on this rental property since it is on the same title as my main residence.

    You can claim as a % of your total property. But keep in mind you will pay CGT when you sell on that %. Speak to your accountant.

    Definitely speak to a “good” accountant – there’s quite a lot to consider here.

    Cheers

    1. Claim % of ownership and usage
    2. if you claim IP % split…than yes you will need to pay part Capital gain tax when you sell as well

    So balance out the options…def sit down with an accountant and work with the 4-5 different scenario and work out which one has the best outcome for your situation.

    Yes you can claim expenses associated with it. Even if you didn’t claim you would still be subject to CGT
