Negative gearing has been a hot topic of discussion among several places worldwide, most particularly in Australia. It affects property investors in more ways than one.
As we would like to guide people in building a solid foundation of creating wealth for themselves, we would like to present these slides that talk about negative outcomes that will be brought about once negative gearing has been abolished.
9. “Obviously very few people buy investment properties with their own
money and gearing, or borrowing money to purchase an asset, allows you
to purchase investments that you otherwise couldn’t.
Negative gearing is when the cost of owning a property exceeds the
income it produces. Australia is one of only a few developed nations that
allows negative gearing.”

10. Negative Gearing
• It allows you to offset costs associated with your rental property(s)
against your taxable income, as long as the property is producing
income and your intention is to achieve a positive net cash flow.
• Offset through common deductions: interest costs, repairs and
maintenance, and property agent fees and commission.
11. BEYOND THE TAX REFUND…
Note that the purpose of negatively gearing an investment property
is not the tax refund you receive.

Note that the purpose of negatively gearing an investment property

The purpose of negative gearing is to help you build your assets –
and your wealth – as quickly as possible.
13. Simply put…
“Negative gearing helps investors recoup possible losses from
maintenance costs and rental income by claiming those losses against their
other income.”

18. Rents would skyrocket
“Landlords may increase their rent to
compensate for the lack of negative
gearing and because of the supply and
demand argument, rents could
skyrocket. ”
19. Increased demand for public housing
“If tenants can’t find a home that
will not leave a hole in their
pockets, their only option may be to
apply for public housing.
But with the waiting list as long as
it is, increased demand for a suitable
social dwelling might only make the
system more inefficient and usher in
a public housing crisis.”
20. Properties for sale would oversaturate the market
“Properties with negative
cash flow would hurt many
investors.
Landlords might sell them
off if negative gearing was
abolished.
When properties for sale
oversaturate the market,
prices may plummet and
bring an unprecedented
property market bust.”
21. Inflation would
increase.
“Without negative gearing in place, inflation could be
expected to increase along with the higher cost of holding
properties. This is because housing costs are a component of the
inflation figures.”
24. “According to the Australian Taxation Office statistics, those who made a loss on
rental properties had a taxable income of $80,000 or less — about 66.5 per cent of
investors. It would be harder for them to secure their financial future and could
derail their retirement planning.”
25. Negative gearing is important for the market to
be balanced. Removing it might send the
property market in a tailspin.
