Negative Gearing Guide

Negative Gearing

Gearing is the process of borrowing funds to purchase a property that you would not be able to purchase with your cash funds alone. Negative gearing occurs when the expenses and loan interest exceed the rental income, leading to a net loss which can reduce your tax payable. This guide will run through an example to illustrate the process of negative gearing. More Info
