    Hi Everyone,

    Can anyone please tell me if body corporate fees and rates are tax deductible for an investment property?

    Also are property manager fees tax deductible?

    Also on another note; does anyone recommend opening a trust to place investment properties under? Why or why not?

    Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you

    all outgoings are tax deductable.

    Trust- what type? There are advantages and disadvantages to the different ones. You need to research the difference and decide.

    Some have no tax free threshold for stamp duty. CGT is different. etc etc.

    Why are you considering this? Way too many new investors jump into complex structures because they think it's the flavor of the month. There are a number of trusts – with various pros/cons. To gain an understanding of what would be suitable to your needs, you really need to consult the relevant professionals.

    Cheers
