Property Tax Advisory

We provide accurate and timely individual tax lodgement services, ensuring full compliance while maximizing your eligible deductions and returns.

Overview

Strategic Tax Planning for Your Real Estate Portfolio

Property investment remains a cornerstone of wealth creation in Australia, but true profitability lies in the details of your tax strategy. The intersection of rental yields, deductible outgoings, and long-term capital gains requires a nuanced approach to ensure you aren’t overpaying the ATO.

Our specialist advisors work with you to simplify the complexities of property ownership. From maximizing annual depreciation claims to navigating the intricacies of negative gearing, we provide the technical expertise needed to protect your assets. Whether you are a first-time landlord or a seasoned developer, we ensure your portfolio is structured for maximum tax efficiency from acquisition to exit.

What’s Included

Complete Suppor for Your Tax Return

Our individual tax lodgement service takes care of every part of your personal tax return, making the process smooth and hassle-free.

Investment Income Reporting

We handle the heavy lifting of your annual tax compliance, meticulously reconciling rental earnings and outgoings to ensure every eligible deduction is captured and reported accurately.

Asset Depreciation Maximization

By partnering with qualified quantity surveyors, we help you unlock non-cash deductions. We ensure your depreciation schedules are fully optimized for both structural components and internal fixtures.

Negative Gearing Optimization

If your investment costs exceed your rental income, we strategically apply those losses to reduce your taxable income, ensuring you receive the full cash-flow benefit of your investment strategy.

Capital Gains Strategy (CGT)

Preparation is key to a profitable exit. We calculate your cost base, assess eligibility for exemptions, and advise on the most tax-efficient timing for your property sales.

Maintenance vs. Capital Works

The ATO draws a fine line between a deductible repair and a depreciable improvement. We provide the technical clarity needed to categorize expenses correctly and maximize immediate tax relief.

Strategic Asset Structuring

The way you hold a property—whether via a Trust, SMSF, or individual name—impacts your long-term wealth. We advise on the most effective structures for asset protection and tax minimization.

At OzLedger, we provide clear, practical tax advice for property investors — whether you own one rental property or a growing portfolio across multiple states.

What This Service Covers

Our property tax advisory service covers negative gearing advice and tax deduction optimisation, depreciation schedule reviews and quantity surveyor referrals, rental income and expense reporting, CGT planning for property sales including the main residence exemption, land tax obligations across different states, advice on purchasing property through different ownership structures, GST implications for property development and commercial property transactions, holiday home and mixed-use property tax treatment, and advice on transferring property between family members or entities.

Why Property Investors Need Specialist Advice

Depreciation Is One of the Biggest Deductions Most Investors Underuse

A properly prepared depreciation schedule from a quantity surveyor can generate thousands of dollars in additional deductions each year. Many property investors either don't have one or are using an outdated one. We make sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to.

The Main Residence Exemption Has Conditions

The CGT exemption on your family home isn't as straightforward as most people assume. Using your home as a rental at any point, owning multiple properties, or living overseas all affect how the exemption applies. We assess your specific situation carefully.

Land Tax Rules Differ by State

Land tax is calculated differently in every state and territory. If you own investment properties in more than one state, your obligations need to be assessed separately for each jurisdiction. We help you understand and manage the full picture.

How It Works

We review your property holdings and ownership structure, identify every available deduction and concession, advise on the tax implications of any planned purchase or sale, and make sure your annual return captures everything correctly.
