Rental Properties Services

Do you own a rental property? Investing in property can be both risky and rewarding. When it comes to tax, it can be a little confusing too. With the right accountant on your side though, it doesn’t have to be.

Make the most out of your rental property

Landlords of Australian rental properties have a duty to maintain the property, as well as be responsible for financials, taxes and utilities. Knowing where you stand as an investment property owner will put you in better control of your finances.

With a broad range of possible tax deductions for your property expenses, you can boost your tax refund, leaving more rental income for you. The right accountant can help you make the most out of your rental property. They might even help you discover a deduction you hadn’t previously considered – and this is just the beginning.

Recently I came on board as a client, and cannot recommend Angela highly enough. To date, my experience with Angela and the team has been fantastic and I would not hesitate in providing a referral. I have been impressed with the prompt return of calls and emails, and have had all work completed within our agreed time frames. The valuable taxation and small business advice I have received has been incredibly useful and provided me with support and guidance on my personal and business journey. If you are looking for a Tax Accountant or Advisor, don't hesitate in making the move over to Crest.
