Hi,
Had a bit of a search but couldnt locate a specific answer.
All new to the investment game so got a few questions about the tax advatages etc.
I understand that when the incoming rent does not match your interst and other property costs then you are at a lose and allowed to claim this as a deduction.
However, what happens when your incoming rent exceeds your property costs. Does this mean you must pay tax on the difference between your incoming and costs? Is this what ppl call postive cash flow?
Can one situation be better than the other for varying situations?
Thanks in advance
