Buying a property
How long must I keep the property to avoid capital gains tax?
Investment and primary residence?
I would like to clarify whether it is possible to treat a property
as both an investment and my primary residence>
Property profit into super
Can I sell this property and put the proceeds into a super fund and
thus avoid the capital gains tax?
Single Mum with a mortgage
I am a single Mum of two kids with a mortgage. I have $100 a week
to invest - should I pay off the mortgage or invest elsewhere?
Investment property
It has been suggested I borrow $90,000 and invest in a managed fund
and buy an investment property. Is this a wise option?
Government grant
We bought our first brand new unit last year with the help of
government grant. Can we rent it out for the first 364 days in
order to claim the first year deprecation to offset our tax; then
move in and live there for six months to legally fulfill the grant
requirement?
Margin loan
Could I claim the interest on a mortgage redraw as a tax deduction
like I do now with the margin loan?
Selling investment properties
When is the best time for me to sell my investment properties and
put any capital gain achieved into my super fund?
Property for children
My wife and I want to secure the future of our two sons, now aged
five and seven, in land - do you think this is a good move?
Sell now or later
We would like to buy a new home but we cannot move in right now -
should we wait before we start the selling process?
Buy your ideal home?
I have been told a strategy is to buy our ideal house as an
investment property until we are in a position to move in and start
paying off the mortgage. Is this legitimate?
Buy property now?
Should I invest in property to not miss out on the current property
increases?
Our next move for property
We propose to move to another area and are unsure of what we should
do with our current property. What would you suggest?
CGT on shared property
I own half of my home and my two brothers own the other half in
equal shares. My brothers are worried that they will have to pay
CGT on their share of the property when I pass away.
Residence property
Could you please explain the term "provided you do not claim any
other property as your residence in that time"?
Mortgage pay off
Would I be better off trying to make small extra payments onto the
mortgage, or using some of my super to pay off a lump sum of the
mortgage?
Gifted property
Do I have to pay tax on property gifted to me from overseas?
Investment property
As our stocks have no debt and the mortgage is not tax deductible,
should we sell the shares and pay down mortgage?
Investment to residence
We were thinking of moving into our first investment property and
changing our principal home to an investment. Would this be wise?
Downsizing property to invest
We would like to downsize to a smaller property and invest the
difference. How should we invest?
Selling investment property
We wish to sell our investment property. Can we use our super to
avoid some capital gains tax?
CGT on Market Values
If my father sells me a property for below the market value, will
the Capital Gains Tax be calculated on this actual profit or on the
market value?
Buying property
Are we better off trying to put more money into our current home
loan or should we look at a second property investment?
Property loans
Is there anyway I can maximise my investment property loan so that
I can claim more tax benefits and lower my loan cost for the unit
which I am planning to buy and live in for which there is no tax
benefit?
Sell old and buy new?
My partner and I are looking at the selling the property in my name
to buy a property in both our names. Is this a good way forward?
Residence to rental
What is the outcome if you put excess funds in a mortgage whilst
your are in your principal place of residence and then withdrew all
the excess funds prior to renting out the property?
Renting out your home
We would like to move out and rent out our home. Are we able to
continue to claim it as our principle place of residence and
thereby become exempt from capital gains tax?
Property share-ownership
I have a paid-off property which I would like my son to move into,
paying weekly equity payments to me in order to gradually increase
his ownership of the property. What would be the advantages and
disadvantages of such a scheme?
Primary residence
If I borrow against my primary residence to buy another property to
live in for a while, and then move back into it later, what type of
tax situation would I be creating for myself?
