NEWS FEATURE
AS COOL AS IT GETS INCREDIBLE RANGE OF NEW FRIDGES Gaggenau, the luxury professional- grade kitchen appliance manufacturer, has unveiled the brand new Vario cooling 400 series. It is a fully integrated, built- in modular range of fridge- freezers and wine climate cabinets which can be partnered to meet an array of interior needs. The progressive design of this range presents a statement in any kitchen, while maintaining integral professional capabilities. The Vario cooling 400 series combines modularity with the smooth lines of seamless integration and redefines the landscape of the functional kitchen. With quality and craftsmanship at the forefront, 813 of the 840 processes taken to construct one of Gaggenau’s 400 series fridge freezers, are completed by hand; a testament to the emphasis and value of handmade. The Vario cooling 400 series variations are most impres sive when combined to form an imposing cooling wall that integrates into the overall kitchen structure, and presents as an expanse of handleless doors
with individual furniture fronts, stainless steel or glass doors for wine climate cabinets. The door opens to reveal a premium grade stainless steel interior and solid anthracite door racks that offer hygienic and antibacterial properties, bringing the professional kitchen principles into the home. The adjustable near-invisible shelf system is complemented by an atmospheric glow from the warm white, glare-free LED lights. As part of the newly launched series, Gaggenau debuts the exceptional opening assist system. Push to open the handleless door and the mechanism will open the portal for you. The door’s ice and water dispenser anticipates your needs and activates automatically the light and touch keys as you approach, thanks to its ingenious proximity sensor. A variety of intelligent sensors ensure a constant interior temperature within one degree to create ideal storing conditions. The Gaggenau Cooling freshness system has multiple climate zones, including the cooling drawer that preserves meat and fish. The TFT display allows
effortless control of cooling at every step. Taking inspiration from the oak barrels used to age wine, the Vario wine climate cabinet 400 series features telescopic rails which allow oak and dark anthracite aluminium bottle trays to fully extend for gentle handling. Further safeguards are provided by the cabinet’s low vibration, humidity regulation; and the activated charcoal air filter which protects the wine from odour contamination.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT SERIES
INVESTMENT PROPERTIES TAX ADVANTAGES If you have purchased or are thinking of purchasing an investment property, it is important to understand how you can maximise your investment during tax time. We have listed a few core considerations for you in the lead up to the End of Financial Year: 1. Keep all records: It’s important to keep receipts and records of the expenses incurred by your investment property. Eligible expenses can only be claimed throughout the period the property is leased. You must be aware there are differences between maintenance and improvement expenses, which alter what you can claim, your accountant will provide guidance here. Repairs and maintenance can include lawn mowing, changing lightbulbs, plumbing problems, roof repairs etc. It is often worthwhile to take photos of these
“
Quantity surveyor reports are an integral part of tax claims for most investment properties, your accountant will be able to steer you in the right direction when it comes to finding a good independent quantity surveyor.
”
– Ben from Carter’s Tax Advisory
receipts in the event they fade or are damaged. 2. Claim Your Interest: It is a common misconception that you can claim the repayments on your investment loan. The Australian Tax Office stipulates you can claim the interest on your loan for the relevant financial year. A high proportion of your deduction will be claimed from the interest on the loan of your rental property so ensure at the end of the year, you download your bank statement and understand how much interest you have paid.
3. Get a Quantity Surveyor report: Also known as a depreciation report, they are often overlooked and can make a significant impact on your tax return. A quantity surveyor report is administered by an independent depreciator or quantity surveyor, who will come in and assess the properties value including its structure and items permanently fixed to it. This includes air conditioning units, ovens, garage doors, carpets etc. You are allowed to claim tax deductions on the declining value of these assets and the depreciation report will determine the percentage decline over time. The cost of obtaining the depreciation schedule is also tax deductable. Investment properties can be a great way to grow your wealth, it’s important to seek professional advice on how you can claim on your investment property in the lead up to tax time to ensure you are maximising your tax return.

BROKING BREAKDOWN
BROKERS ARE KEY
DON’T GO DIRECT TO THE BANKS
MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM
Home loan customers are continually looking to brokers to help with their mortgage applications, as figures released this month by the National Australia Bank (NAB) attest. According to NAB, in the first half of the 2020-21 financial year, there was a 45 per cent increase in mortgage applications for the major bank, with strong activity from the broker channel. Brokers contributed to 47.9 per cent of new lending in the first six months of the financial year, which was up from 45 per cent in March 2020. Brokers now account for 40 per cent of NAB’s total home loan portfolio. With broker share of the national home loan market now around 60
per cent and climbing, there are fewer reasons for people to look to a bank when they are buying property or refinancing their mortgage. The introduction of the best interest duty laws from January 1, 2021 has also bolstered the broking industry. The best interest duty legislation that brokers operate under to avoid possible conflicts and provide best customer outcomes does NOT cover going to the banks directly. If you want to ensure your best interests are given top priority, the ONLY way to do this is through a broker. With Australia’s property boom showing no signs of slowing down, brokers have been busier than ever, but they have also been
dealing with the many challenges thrown up during the COVID- 19 pandemic and issues such as long turnaround times of loan applications by lenders. Mark’s Shout... In the current property market, the difference of a few days between submitting a loan application and getting that loan approved can be the difference in a client securing a new home or missing out. For brokers, knowing how to deal with loan turnaround times, and advising about potential worst-case scenarios is one of the most important parts of the job. Brokers have a duty to get the best deal possible for their clients while managing expectations.
