A lot of investors miss out on thousands of dollars in deductions every year, simply because they never get a depreciation schedule.

Depreciation lets you claim the wear and tear on your property over time, the building itself plus the assets inside it, like light fixtures, blinds and appliances. Done properly, that can add up to thousands of dollars a year in deductions.

Most investors who skip it assume the property's too old, not worthwhile, or they've simply never been given the right advice to make the most of it.

The start of a new financial year is the perfect time to get this sorted. One small step now can have a long-term impact on your return.

🚨 Negative gearing and capital gains tax are changing for property investors from 1 July 2027, and search interest in these changes has surged since the budget announcement.

Swipe through for exactly what's different: which properties are grandfathered, how the new build exemption works, where quarantined negative gearing losses can go, how the CGT discount is being replaced with indexation, the new minimum tax on capital gains, and what the 1 July 2027 transition means for your existing portfolio.🏡

Remember, every property and structure is different. Here at Duo Tax, we can provide ATO-compliant depreciation schedules and property valuations to help investors navigate these changes with confidence.

Ever walked into a property and thought "this is worth a fortune," only for the valuation to come back lower than expected? 😮

Property value can feel subjective. Two buyers might see the same home completely differently, and even a valuer walking through the door for the first time might seem to be forming an opinion on the spot.

In reality, professional property valuations aren't based on personal opinion. Valuers follow a structured process, weighing up specific factors that influence how a property compares with others in the market.

What is a commercial property valuation, really? 🤔 It's an independent assessment of market value, prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer. Lenders, the ATO, courts and buyers all rely on it to make major financial, tax and legal decisions.

Unlike a residential appraisal, a commercial property valuation weighs income, lease terms, tenant quality and zoning just as heavily as comparable sales. That's why two similar-looking properties can land on very different valuations.

Swipe through for the three valuation methods valuers actually use (Income Capitalisation, Direct Comparison and Cost Approach), what shapes a property's market value, and when a valuation is needed beyond just buying or selling. Think refinancing, Capital Gains Tax, SMSF compliance, lease reviews and redevelopment planning.

The 2026-27 financial year has just started, and that's the best time to get your property finances organised.

A lot of investors fall behind because they rely on memory instead of records. Once you've got a system in place, the real question becomes: do you know what you can actually claim?
Obvious costs like loan interest, property management fees, insurance and repairs are easy to spot. It's the ones that get overlooked - maintenance costs, ongoing ownership costs like council rates, and more complex deductions depending on how your property is structured, that investors miss.

Think of your deductions less like a checklist and more like a system. Miss the full picture, and it's easy to leave money on the table.

🏠 Property settlement is more than a date on the calendar; it's the day legal ownership of your new place actually transfers to you.
Whether you're buying your first home or growing your portfolio as a property investor, knowing what happens on and before settlement day can help your property purchase go smoothly.
Swipe through for what to check in your contract of sale, what to do before settlement, what can delay settlement, and what to remember when taking possession 👉
✅ Confirm your settlement date and finances are locked in
✅ Check your insurance, council rates and water rates are sorted
✅ Understand exactly how property ownership passes to you on an investment property (or your own home)
Every purchase is different, so always confirm the finer details with your solicitor or conveyancer.
📌 Save this for your next property purchase, and share it with someone about to go through settlement.

How much was your property worth on a specific date in the past? 🤔🏡

💡 Knowing your property’s historical market value can be important for Capital Gains Tax (CGT), inherited property, deceased estates and self-managed super funds (SMSFs).

A retrospective property valuation is an independent property valuation prepared by a Certified Practising Valuer. It determines your property’s market value at a specific point in time using historical market evidence.

If you’re a property investor or own an investment property, understanding when a retrospective property valuation may be required can help you prepare for future tax or legal requirements.

Swipe through to learn how retrospective property valuations work, what property types can be valued and when you may need one.

💰 Would you rather earn an extra $20 a week... or keep an exceptional tenant for another 5 years?

🤔 It's a question every landlord faces, but the answer isn't as straightforward as most people think.
We asked Kris how he approaches rent increases across his own portfolio, and his perspective might challenge the idea that rent should always be pushed to market value.

Sometimes the most profitable decision isn't the obvious one.

Watch the reel and let us know:

Would you increase the rent every chance you get, or prioritise keeping a great tenant?

🏘️Many property investors focus on the sale price when calculating Capital Gains Tax (CGT), but one important detail is often overlooked: capital improvements.

If you’ve completed substantial renovations, extensions or other qualifying capital improvements, or no longer have detailed records of the work, a Duo Tax Improvement Report can help estimate historical capital improvement costs for your property’s CGT cost base💰

Prepared by our team of qualified Quantity Surveyors, the report documents qualifying capital improvements using available documentation, detailed costings and supporting evidence. This can help support a more accurate Capital Gains Tax calculation when it’s time to sell💸

Every property is different, which is why it’s worth understanding what may be included in your property’s cost base before a CGT event occurs. If you’re planning to sell or even just want clarity on your true CGT position, don’t leave your capital improvements to guesswork🤔

Order a Duo Tax Improvement Report today to accurately capture eligible historical renovation and improvement costs and strengthen your CGT cost base with qualified Quantity Surveyor support.
