What is negative gearing?
By relying on borrowed money, you can acquire valuable investment properties.
When the total expenses, including loan interest, property management fees, and maintenance costs, exceed the rental income generated, it results in a rental loss—a condition known as negative gearing.
The primary objective of negative gearing is to utilize the tax benefits associated with this loss to potentially lower your taxable income, reduce your overall tax liability, and even secure a tax refund.
Earning a tax refund through negative gearing
s a result, you may qualify for a tax refund. If the total withheld, including PAYG Withholding tax and PAYG instalments, is more than your actual tax payable, you can receive a tax refund. In essence, negative gearing helps reduce the amount of income tax you have to pay and may even earn you a tax refund.
The Benefits Of A Negatively Geared Property
Negative gearing offers allows investors to deduct rental property expenses, such as loan interest and maintenance costs, from their taxable income. This reduces their overall tax liability and potentially results in higher tax savings.
Risks associated with investment property negative gearing
Negatively geared properties require ongoing financial commitment, as the investor must cover the shortfall between rental income and expenses from their own funds.

Positive gearing benefits and tax considerations
How does negative gearing work compared to positive gearing?
Cash Flow – Positive gearing provides immediate cash flow through rental income, where the income exceeds the expenses. On the other hand, negative gearing requires additional funds to cover the ongoing expenses, as the expenses exceed the rental income (also known as summary rental income), resulting in a cash flow deficit.
Risk and Return – Positive gearing offers immediate income but may have limited capital growth. Negative gearing, while having potential tax benefits, allows for potential long-term capital gains as the property value appreciates over time.
Understanding these differences and considering your financial goals and circumstances can help you determine the most suitable investment strategy, whether it involves positive or negative gearing.
