All Topics / The Treasure Chest / Quick question on neg & pos gearing
Hi
Just a quick question, I think I know the answer but I would like to be sure.
When do you class a property negativley geared or positivley geared? For example if I spend $20k per year and receive $15k rental, I have had to put my hand in my pocket for $5k. I may get $8k back from tax deductions therefore I have gained $3k. Is this a positive or negatively geared property???
Thank you!!![]

I think the best definiition I have heard on this one is by Margaret Lomas. She divides it into three classes, as follows;
1. Negative geared – costs money from our pocket each week.
eg. rent + deductions – costs = -ve2. Positive cashflow – After deductions, etc the property puts money in your pocket (not before deductions though)
eg. rent + deductions – costs = +ve3. Positive geared – Before deductions,etc puts money in your pocket.
eg. Rent – costs = +ve (before all deduction, tax, etc).Hope it helps.
Enjoy
