Jointly Owned Properties
If your rental is owned jointly (spouse, sibling, business partner), we handle:
• Correct income/deduction splitting
• Individualised reporting
• Offset planning to reduce tax impact across owners
Capital Gains Tax When Selling
Selling your investment? We’ll help with:

Record Keeping for Property Investors
The ATO requires you to keep records for 5+ years. We help you maintain:

• Loan documentation
• Depreciation schedules
• Lease & tenant records

We also work with your property manager or quantity surveyor to ensure all records are ready at tax time.
