Hey everyone, I have a fairly ugly set of concrete steps on the side of my PPoR leading down to the "entertaining area". I'm looking at building a small deck over these steps to hide them. The deck will be big enough to cover the steps, so roughly a meter out from the house, 60 cm or so high...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if I could get a little sanity check with my understanding of the way Interest on IPs work for tax purposes. Say I had a salary income of 100k and was paying 20k per year in Interest on an IP. When it came around to tax time would it work like this...
