Best Brisbane Property Accountant
When it comes to maximising profit margins from your rental property- a lot of the heavy lifting is done not by the real estate property manager – but by your accountant.
So it’s essential you find an accountant who specialises in investment property tax.
That’s right.
Often, it’s not the dollars earned that make your investment property a wise investment, but rather, the dollars saved (tax dollars that is).
And that’s only possibly with the use of a great accountant who has some great industry contacts.
Like a quantity surveyor who specialises in tax depreciation.
Did you purchase your rental investment property in your own name? A trust? Self managed superfund? Company name?
Each structure has its pros and cons
Some accountants are great at helping you choose the best path not only for ownership structures but for minimising taxes during ownership and at time of sale or inheritance.
That is why you should never shop on price. And why you should always ask who’s the best accountant for you.
There’s thousands of accountants out there.
A quick check on LinkedIn indicates at least 44,000 Australians identify as ‘accountants’
But who do you choose?
As a Quantity Surveyor I’ve worked closely with hundreds, if not thousands of accounts since 2008. I’ve personally inspected over 11,000 invest properties in Brisbane and greater South East Queensland.
They’ve been owned in every possible ownership structure you can think of.
Best Investment Property Ownership Structures
Some ownership structures mean better tax depreciation deductions.
Others mean better CGT rates upon sale.
And some structures are great for easy transfer through inheritance.
What’s best for you may not be for someone you know. So always seek tax advice forma reputable accountant.
I have curated a long list of highly competent accountants in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine coast.
Not to mention greater Ipswich and Toowoomba.
