Common questions from Property Investors

What expenses can I deduct against rental income?

Deductible expenses include bond interest, rates and taxes, levies, insurance, property management fees, repairs (not improvements), and depreciation on qualifying assets. We ensure every allowable deduction is claimed correctly.

When does Capital Gains Tax apply to property?

CGT applies when you sell a property for more than its base cost. For individuals, the primary residence exclusion of R2 million applies. Companies and trusts are subject to different inclusion rates. We calculate your CGT accurately before disposal so there are no surprises.

Should I hold my rental property in a company or personally?

This depends on your marginal tax rate, your long-term plans for the property, and your estate planning goals. Companies pay a flat 27% on profits; individuals pay at marginal rates up to 45%. We model the tax outcome of each structure before you decide.
