I am Australian citizen and a non tax resident for tax purposes for the first time in FY 24/25 and will be non tax resident for the next 5-8 years until I return. I have investment properties and shares that I purchased while tax resident.


Am I still allowed to claim the repair costs/interest/management fees on the properties in the tax return?

If I make a loss, will the loss be carried forward?


I also got married recently to a non tax resident, does my marriage have an impact on my tax return?


thank you

Hi @Emil17,


Yep, as a non-resident, you can still claim things like interest, repairs, and property management fees on your Australian investment properties. As long as the property’s earning rental income. You’ll report this as Australian income or losses from investments or property.


If you make a loss, you can carry it forward to use in future years. You need to claim it at the first opportunity though – you can’t hold onto it if it can be used now.

 

Your marriage to a non-resident usually won’t affect your tax return unless you share income/assets or want to claim something like the spouse tax offset.


You also might need to include their details for things like Medicare levy or family benefits (depending on your situation).

Thank you very much. I also have a share portfolio of roughly $20k and earning about $900/year interest. All shares are Australian companies. Do I have to pay tax on the dividends in Australia or overseas where I‘m currently tax resident? Thank you
