🏡 Thinking of claiming deductions on your holiday home? The ATO’s new draft guidance could change the rules.
If your property doubles as a getaway and a rental, it’s time to take a closer look at how you use and advertise it. The ATO is tightening its focus on what counts as a genuine income-producing property — and what doesn’t.
✅ Review your rental strategy
✅ Keep detailed records
✅ Make sure your pricing and availability reflect genuine rental intent
Stay informed and prepared before the new rules take effect from 1 July 2026.
