Is This Right For Me?
Whether you're just starting or growing a portfolio, we tailor the strategy to your stage.
Negative gearing delivers more benefit the higher your income — we model your optimal position.
We apply for PAYG withholding variations so you get the tax benefit weekly, not at EOFY.
CGT planning before sale can save tens of thousands. We advise on timing and structures.
Our Process
We audit your current tax returns against your portfolio — most new clients find we uncover deductions they have been missing for years.
We coordinate a depreciation schedule (if you don't have one), apply for a PAYG variation, and document your full deduction position.
We lodge your annual return and proactively advise when you're considering acquiring, refinancing, or disposing of a property.
What We Do
We connect you with approved quantity surveyors and review the schedule for accuracy. Clients regularly add $3,000–$12,000 in annual deductions they would otherwise miss.
We calculate your exact gearing position, optimise your loan structure, and apply for PAYG withholding variations so you get the benefit each pay cycle.
Selling? We calculate your CGT position, apply the 50% CGT discount where eligible, and advise on timing strategies across financial years to minimise your liability.
From loan interest and management fees to repairs, council rates, insurance, and advertising — we ensure every legitimate deduction is captured without triggering ATO scrutiny.
LMI, establishment fees, and loan costs are deductible over 5 years — or immediately if the loan term is under 5 years. We track these automatically.
Our property advisors (APIG) and finance brokers (CPL Finance) can review your portfolio strategy alongside your tax position — a service single-division firms cannot offer.
The Situation
A Parramatta couple owned two investment properties and had been using a general accountant for their tax returns. Their combined annual deductions were $18,400.
What We Did
We commissioned depreciation schedules for both properties, applied for PAYG withholding variations, and restructured how their loan interest was allocated across the two properties.
The Outcome
Their deductible expenses increased to $31,200 — an additional $12,800 per year. With the PAYG variation, they stopped waiting for a tax refund and received the benefit in their weekly pay.

Calculators & Tools
Estimate your annual income tax payable as an Australian tax resident, including Medicare levy and the Low Income Tax Offset.
Loan interest, depreciation, property management fees, council rates, insurance, repairs and maintenance, advertising, and accounting fees. The critical distinction is repairs (immediately deductible) vs improvements (claimed over time via depreciation).
If your property was built after 1985, almost certainly yes. Most investors who don't have one are leaving $3,000–$10,000+ per year unclaimed.
A PAYG variation allows your employer to withhold less tax each pay cycle, reflecting your investment property deductions. Instead of waiting for a lump-sum tax refund, you receive the benefit weekly. We apply on your behalf.
CGT is calculated on the capital gain minus allowable costs. If held for over 12 months, you receive a 50% CGT discount. Timing the settlement can significantly change your liability — speak to us before signing.
Yes, we handle both in one engagement. Jointly-owned properties require both owners' returns to be prepared together — we ensure the income and deductions are split correctly and optimally.
