Capital Gains and Depreciation Facts for Australia Property Investors

If you have invested in, or are planning to invest in property in Australia, it may be useful to find out about Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

CGT was introduced in Sept 20, 1985 and is the tax payable on the difference between the cost of a purchased asset and the amount received for that same asset upon disposal. In property investor-speak, this simply means the difference between the original purchase price of a property (includes capital buying costs) and the price the property is sold for (includes selling costs).

An investor claiming property depreciation can affect a change in the cost base, thus changing capital gain or loss. What implications does this hold for the investor? Would you like to find out the following:

1. What is property depreciation?
2. How do capital works deductions affect CGT?
3. How does plant and equipment depreciation affect CGT?
4. What CGT exemptions apply for a principal place of residence?
5. Are property investors eligible for a discount?
6. Is it still worthwhile claiming property depreciation if it will later add to the capital gain?

The Changing Face of Melbourne

There’s no denying Melbourne’s reputation as the Most Liveable City in the World. Bestowed on this beautiful city four times, this ranking holds merit, evidenced by the population growth over the years. What was once a backwater town has boomed into a world class city.

And there’s no stopping this growth, by the looks of it: Melbourne is slated to overtake Sydney as the biggest city in Australia in the near future. What does this mean and what solutions are being explored to accommodate such growth?

7 News highlights this in their special two-part report:

Part 2: 7 News | The Changing Face of Melbourne 

An increased population will lead to a continual sprawl in the city and drive the demand for housing. And as migrants continue to move into Melbourne, there will be a greater need for rental accommodation.

Timing is just as important as location and other factors when it comes to investment. Are you now thinking of exploring options in Australia?
