I have vacant land which I intend on renting to tiny house / caravan owners.


How much income do I need to receive from the land to be able to claim tax deductions?


Or, how frequently do I need to receive income from the land to be able to claim tax deductions?


The land would be available for rent almost immediately, but I can't be sure how often it will be occupied.


Thank you.

The question here should be: Is this venture a business or simply the renting of land?

Caravan parks are a commercial residential enterprise so this is a business. Expenses related to running that business are deductible regardless of how much income you earn.

Deductions can only be claimed off the income received. If you make a loss that loss may have to be deferred. See this link on the non-commercial loss rules.
