Understanding Negative Gearing

There’s an easy way to save the government up to $20 billion annually.

Just slug greedy, rich property investors by reforming negative gearing and capital gains tax and it won’t increase rents for tenants or hurt mum and dad investors a bit.

Really??

Nothing new about this…negative gearing has been a hot topic in Australia for years, often pitched as a controversial tax benefit for greedy property investors that makes homeownership harder to attain.

Critics argue it inflates property prices and enriches investors at the expense of aspiring homeowners.

However, a closer look reveals a different story: negative gearing plays a significant role in providing affordable rental housing and boosting the supply in a market facing chronic shortages.

Removing or limiting this incentive would likely have unintended consequences, increasing rents for tenants and doing little to improve housing affordability.

So let’s explore the history and impact of negative gearing, and why it remains essential for a balanced property market.
