Understanding Your Tax Obligations
As a residential property owner, it’s crucial to understand the various tax implications associated with your investment. These include:
-
Income Tax: Rental income from your residential property must be declared and is subject to income tax.
-
Deductions: You can claim deductions for various expenses related to your rental property, including mortgage interest, property maintenance, and management fees.
-
Depreciation: While residential property itself cannot be depreciated, certain fixtures and fittings can be, providing additional tax benefits.
-
Bright-Line Test: If you sell your residential property within a certain period, you may be subject to the bright-line test, which can result in tax on any capital gains.
