- Under joint loans, shared ownership affects income and deductions.
- Rental property income: 20,000with20,000 with 20,000with3,280 in deductions, splitting 50/50 between two owners.
- Tax return entries example: Each owner reports 10,000rentalincome,10,000 rental income, 10,000rentalincome,1,640 allowable deductions, and 6,490mortgageinterest,resultingin6,490 mortgage interest, resulting in 6,490mortgageinterest,resultingin1,870 profit.
Tax Implications of Separate Loans
- Separate loans allow each partner to claim interest expenses directly related to their individual debt.
- Example: Michael's loan interest = 10,980;Sarah’s=10,980; Sarah’s = 10,980;Sarah’s=12,980.
- Tax return entries based on ownership: 10,000rentalincome,10,000 rental income, 10,000rentalincome,1,640 deductions, resulting in different profits: Michael - 2,620;Sarah−2,620; Sarah - 2,620;Sarah−4,620.
Tenants in Common Arrangement
- Tenancy in Common permits unequal ownership shares; interests can be sold or transferred independently.
- Upon death, shares become part of the estate and are distributed as per the will.
- Example: Emily (60%) and James (40%) — Emily's share not inherited by James if she passes; it goes to her heirs.
Tax Implications Under Tenants in Common with Joint Loans
- Rental income and deductions split in accordance with ownership percentages.
- Example with Emily and James: Income of 20,000resultsin20,000 results in 20,000resultsin8,000 (James) and $12,000 (Emily) for income, with profits reflecting respective ownership percentages.
Rental Income Types
- Rental income can also include bonds retained from tenants, fee cancellations, and insurance payouts related to property damage or tenant defaults.
- Payments that cover repair costs or government rebates may be included in assessable income.
Payment Forms for Rental Income
- Rental income isn't solely cash; it can be compensated through goods/services with a monetary value.
- Expenses like mortgage interest, property taxes, and advertising costs are deductible from rental income.
Foreign Rental Property Deductions
- Taxpayers can claim capital expenses for improvements on foreign properties similar to Australian standards.
- Division 43 allows for capital works deduction at 2.5% annually over 40 years for structural components.
- Division 40 applies depreciation rates for plant and equipment based on the ATO's guidelines.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on Foreign Properties
- Sale of foreign investment properties is subject to CGT, similar to Australian properties.
- Currency conversions based on acquisition and sale dates are necessary for profit calculations.
- Example: Carol's rental property sale requiring CGT calculations based on market values and ownership periods.
Main Residence Exemption and Income
- If a part of the home is rented out before moving, the main residence exemption cannot apply to that portion, affecting CGT calculations.
- Example: Reba used 75% of her home as a residence and 25% for business; upon selling, she has to report capital gains on the percentage used for income generation.
