All Topics / Legal & Accounting / 2 LOC’s instead of 1
Hello everyone,
I have a query about setting up 2 LOC accounts. My concern is that because the borrowing costs are deductible over a number of years this may need to be separated from the purchasing costs when using a LOC to fund it all.
I'd use one purely for borrowing costs and the second one for purchasing and running costs on investment properties. Is this possible, will it save a headache for the accountant at tax time? Or does it not matter in the scheme of things and using 1 LOC is sufficient.?
1 should be sufficient.
You can actually claim expenses out right even if you borrow to pay them. You are looking at interest on borrowings which would be treated differently.

I'm with Terry – I can't see why you'd need to complicate it. The one LOC should do the trick.
