| Negative Gearing: What can you do with Mortgages? |
|
| |
Australia, long with a few other countries, has a tax scheme that cuts less on capital gains from selling assets compared the rest of the world, and allows losses on income to be deducted from the taxable each year. If you were renting out property for amounts less than the amount of maintenance and mortgage you're paying each year, you get in effect a reward at tax time.
People have gotten mortgages to acquire properties, which they then rent out to other people in order to pay for the mortgage payments. Negative gearing works on lowering your tax burden, with the expectation that you'll gain much more than your accumulated losses when you finally sell the property. Many have gone into negative gearing with Australia's long-running property boom in mind.
A lot of parents are using negative gearing to gain properties for their children. Nevertheless, it still pays to consult a financial expert regarding this strategy's effectivity for you over the long term. |
