When selling an investment property, it’s completely possible to minimise Capital Gains Tax (CGT)—or even eliminate it all together. However, this depends on a number of factors:
All these questions are crucial to understanding the extent of CGT you pay. But they’ll also help you understand how to minimise your CGT. Check out our article in CGT and property investment to understand how you can minimise the CGT you pay on your property when it comes time to sell.
Yes, it’s possible to purchase a property within your superannuation account. This can be done via a self-managed super fund (SMSF). Using your SMSF as an investment vehicle, it’s completely possible to purchase a residential or commercial property and add that to your SMSF portfolio.
In a similar vein, it’s also possible to set up a loan within your SMSF to allow you to borrow funds to purchase the property.
But be warned: buying property within an SMSF isn’t for everyone. If you do choose to buy property in your SMSF, there are a number of rules you must be aware of. In short:
However, if you can properly navigate the rules, investing in a residential or commercial property with your SMSF can be a sound investment.
Owning an investment property impacts your taxes in two ways.
Firstly, you’re likely to be renting the property out to a tenant. This creates extra income in the name of the property owner, whether this is you as an individual, a company, a trust, or even your SMSF. However, as you’re earning income, this means that you’ll then pay tax on this income.
However, won’t always be the case. If the costs of holding the property—so the interest charges, property maintenance, upkeep, etc—is more than the rental income received, then your property is making an income loss each year. This is called negative gearing, and these losses can offset other taxable income and actually reduce your taxable income at the end of the financial year.
The second impact on taxes is when you dispose of the property. If you sell the investment property for more than you purchased it for, then you may need to pay additional tax in the form of Capital Gains Tax. If you sell the property for less than you purchased it for, you’ve made a capital loss, which you may be able to carry forward to offset any future capital gains.
