Hi All,
I'm looking to invest in a Mantra Serviced Apartment basically I buy the apartment with a 20% deposit down and 80% loan from finance.
It returns about 8.5% net after strata/mantra management costs which will help me with extra cashflow and the options for guananted lease up to 6x 5yrs.
My question is I run a small business and am GST registered do I have to Pay GST on the apartment? Or on the monthly income it brings. Lets say it's $1050 per month from Mantra deduct $50 for the management/cleaning fee's. Do I need to pay 10% of that as GST or charge them a GST component?
Or can I just keep it as a residential/serviced apartment and put it towards my income tax as in the long run I just want to retire purely on investment income with no company or business active.
Cheers
Tom
