Manage episode 479487695 series 3445143
Are you losing thousands in unnecessary land tax payments every year? This eye-opening discussion reveals the hidden tax burden that's crushing property investors' returns across New South Wales.
We dive deep into the mechanics of land tax, demonstrating how this seemingly small 1.6% levy can drain up to $10,000 annually from a typical Northern Beaches investment property. More importantly, we unveil the strategic difference between houses and units that could save you a quarter-million dollars over ten years of investing. Through clear examples, we demonstrate how owning three units can result in zero land tax while a single house of equivalent value triggers a $10,000 annual bill.
The government's recent freezing of thresholds has created massive bracket creep, silently increasing investor tax burdens by approximately 30% annually as property values rise but thresholds remain static. This isn't just theoretical - we walk you through the exact steps to research any property's land tax liability using the NSW Valuer General's website, empowering you with crucial knowledge before your next purchase.
Property investing success increasingly depends on understanding these hidden costs. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, mastering these land tax principles will dramatically improve your investment outcomes.
