Best to ask a tax agent/financial advisor or ask ATO's technical assistance


ATO has a ruling TR 2000/2

Do I need to split my loan

  • No, that is not necessary
  • Should you? - ask a financial advisor

can I just use the cash to pay down the mortgage & then immediately draw it out to buy the shares?

  • That is the necessary step

has it been recommended by my accountant to make their job easier?

  • Ask your accountant explain to you how it works


General information

The deductibility of a loan is connected to the purpose of the loan, regardless of what is used as the security. A redraw is considered a new loan. There are other rules such as for 'splitting' a loan, repayments, mixed purpose loans, apportioning and so on. Would be best you ask your accountant to explain to you.
