    i know i have asked this question on other forums, but i didnt relize this forum was here[blink]!

    Hypothetical situation:

    INCOME:
    my yearly income: $38,000
    yearly IP income: $ 8,560

    TOTAL: $46,560

    COSTS:
    yearly loan interest: $12,510
    total maintenance costs:$ 2,000

    TOTAL: $14,510

    if my normal tax without an IP is $8,280, then if my new tax WITH IP is $6,495 (new income of $32,050), then would my tax return (in theory) be approx. $8,280
    -$6,495
    TOTAL: $1,785?

    if anyone has a response, greatly appreciated.[biggrin]

    Newbie here, so you should probably wait for a more experienced opinion. But from what I gather what you have said is pretty much correct.[thumbsup2]

    Nathan210,

    I agree with your calculations. Make sure you include depreciation as a deduction as well.

    I’ll add my two cents – I’m pretty sure thats the way it works. Make sure you claim for any expenses incurred aswell, including a portion of your home costs if you had a home study/office eg a portion of your rent/mortgage, electricity, stationary, phone, memberships, etc.

    Regards,
    Si
