Renting in UK and the Australian Tax Office
Hi all,
Just wondered what happens if I decide to rent out my non-selling UK flat when I go to Oz. How do the ATO tax the income I gain from the rent? Is it gains I make after paying the mortgage, or is it before that?
It's just that I will probably just break even, so just paying off mortgage in fact. If the ATO tax the rent I get, then I cannot cover the monthly payments in the UK.
Any help welcome.
Thanks
Paul
