Please note: this webinar was deferred from late 2023 to make it more timely in the new year.

The income tax rules that apply to residential landlords can be complicated. This had been made worse with ring-fencing of residential rental losses, interest deductibility limitations and bright-line rules. However, with a new Government, some relief for residential landlords could be on the horizon.

This session will provide an overview of the rules and how they might apply with practical examples.

In particular the webinar will cover:

• Land taxation rules that apply on sale
  ~ Standard rules
  ~ Bright-line
• Loss ring-fencing and quarantining
• The interest deductibility limitation
• Depreciation of assets, including buildings
• Leasehold improvements
• R & M
• Lease premiums and discounts

The webinar will work through a variety of practical examples, including, how the rules apply to real property investment and will discuss the impact of any changes made to any relevant rules under the new Government.

Upon satisfactory completion of this activity you will be able to:

• Understand the income and deduction rules applying to landlords
• Understand when a sale may be taxed
• Understand what tax may be payable on sale
• Understand what, if any, ring-fencing of losses may apply
• Apply these to practical situations

Suited to:

• Accountants
• Lawyers
• Real Estate Agents.
