Hi
Are buyers agent fees tax deductible at any point? Can they be added on as a capital expense when determining CGT at sale of the property?
This is for an IP.
Thanks!

Hi NHG
I'm not an accountant and would always recommend you seek professional advice but my understanding is that it's treated as a capital expense when determining CGT – however, if you used a loan for the BA's fees, the interest should be deductible.
