THE Australian Taxation Office is aware that residential rental property owners may be concerned about how Covid-19, floods or bushfires have reduced their income. This may be a result of tenants paying less or entering deferred payments plans, or travel restrictions which have affected demand for short-term rental properties. New legislation also affects the tax deductions that owners of vacant land can claim. Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat explained that whatever the circumstances, the most important first step was to keep records of all expenses. “Without good records, you will find it difficult to declare all your rental-related income in your tax return and work out what expenses you can claim as deductions.” Reduced rental income The Covid-19 pandemic has placed property owners and tenants in unforeseen circumstances. Many tenants are paying reduced rent or have ceased paying because their income has been adversely affected by Covid-19. You should include rent as income at the time it is paid, so you only need to declare the rent you have received as income. If payments by your tenants are deferred until the next financial year you do not need to include these payments until you receive them. While rental income may be reduced, owners will continue to incur normal expenses on their rental property and will still be able to claim these expenses in their tax return as long as the reduced rent charged is determined at arms’ length, having regard to the current market conditions. This applies whether the reduction in rent was initiated by the tenants or the owner. Some owners may have rental insurance that covers a loss of income. It is important to remember that any payouts from these

types of policies are assessable income and must be included in tax returns. Many banks have moved to defer loan repayments for stressed mortgagees. In these circumstances, rental property owners are still able to claim interest being charged on the loan as a deduction- even if the bank defers the repayments. Short-term rentals “We recognise that circumstances over the past six months have seen many short-term rentals see cancellations or sit vacant as a result of either COVID-19 or bushfires,” Ms Foat said. In circumstances where Covid-19 or natural disasters have adversely affected demand, including the cancellation of existing bookings for a short-term rental property, deductions are still available provided the property was still genuinely available for rent. If owners decided to use the property for private purposes, offered the property to family or friends for free, offered the property to others in need or stopped renting the property out they cannot claim deductions in respect of those periods. “Generally speaking, if your plans to rent a property in 2020 were the same as those for 2019, but were disrupted by Covid-19 or bushfires, you will still be able to claim the same proportion of expenses you would have been entitled to claim previously,” Ms Foat said. To determine the proportion of expenses that can be claimed for short-term rental properties impacted by Covid-19 or bushfires, a reasonable approach is to apportion expenses based on the previous year’s usage pattern, unless you can show it was genuinely available for rent for a longer period of time in 2020. If you or your family or friends move into the property to live in it because of Covid-19 or bushfires, you need to count this as private use when working out your claims in 2020. ●
