Key Points
Why it matters: 指导房东正确区分物业翻修中的“初始维修”与“日常维护”,避免因在置业初期盲目申报大额抵税而引发ATO审计及重罚风险。
针对近期房东关注的投资房翻新抵税争议,群友分享了ATO对“买来就大修”的判定准则。根据税法,业主在购买物业后不久进行的翻新和结构修复,通常被认定为“初始维修”(Initial Repairs),属于资本改良范畴。这类支出无法在当年作为费用全额抵扣应纳税收入,而必须计入房屋的资本成本(Cost Base),在未来出售物业时用于抵减CGT。房东在规划翻新预算时,应将置业初期的整修费用与后续持产期间的日常维护明确切割,并留存详细的建筑商发票以供合规审计。
