- Private redraws must remain separately identifiable in a mixed loan.
- The property must be rented or genuinely available for rent during the claimed period.
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim all interest on an investment loan?
Only to the extent the borrowed money is used to produce rental income and the property is rented or genuinely available for rent.
What happens if I redraw for a private purchase?
The private redraw creates a non-deductible portion of the mixed loan. Paying down the loan later does not automatically turn that private portion back into rental debt.
How do joint owners split rental interest?
Co-owners generally claim rental income and expenses according to their legal ownership interests. This calculator applies the ownership percentage you enter.
