Hi ATO Community,

I am seeking general guidance regarding the tax deductibility of interest on a loan used for debt recycling in a joint-borrowing scenario.

Our scenario -

Property Ownership: The property title is in one name only (sole owner).

Loan Structure: The mortgage is in both names (joint borrowers).

Repayments: Both borrowers are currently contributing to the loan repayments from joint bank accounts.


Given this, am I entitled to claim 100% of the interest deduction on my tax return, or does the joint nature of the loan and repayments require the deduction to be split 50/50?

Thank you
