    One of my tenants has asked if I’d set up a weekly rental package which will include rent, electricity, gas & Austar.

    Has anyone else ever done this?
    If so, are all these expenses legit tax deductable expenditure for the ATO?
    Is there anything else I need to consider?

    Would appreciate your comments..
    Thanks,
    Ann

    I would be wary of paying for their gas etc. especially as they can be constantly changing amounts.

    Austar is possible as it is a fixed charge per month.

    Surely the utilities companies could provide a direct debit facility to your tenant whereby they pay $x per week towards their bill, and are either in credit, or owe some more at each billing cycle? As for being a tax deduction – I have no idea. Sorry [:(]

    Cheers
