5 Common Rental Expense Mistakes(and How To Avoid Them)

I commonly see these expenses being wrongly claimed:

1. Purchase price of the rental property
2. Interest on loans not used for the rental
3. Capital portion of mortgage repayments
4. Costs of capital improvements to property
5. *Real estate & legal fees while selling property.

Learn the basic rules.

✅ Remember, you cannot claim deductions for
– Private expenses
– Capital expenses
– Unrelated expenses

✅ 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 include:
– Buying a capital asset or
– Increasing value of an asset

✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 are those
– You buy
– Pay for
– That are for your own benefit
