"Relevance Title

A forward solution to the negative gearing imbroglio
The problems associated with negative gearing of property by individual taxpayers can be easily solved by the federal government. The government can quarantine the income and expenses related to the negative geared property business, with any losses being carried forward to offset future income

Negative gearing just part of picture
The Australian Financial Review says in an editorial that negative gearing for property should be abolished on the basis that the housing market ``is distorting interest rate policy and forcing businesses and consumers to pay higher rates than might otherwise be appropriate" (AFR, June 23). <

Positive side to negative gearing
I am stunned that negative gearing on property is perceived by some as a subsidy. Debt used to purchase an investment or run any business to derive profits is tax deductible. Property should be treated no differently. Property investors pay a raft of taxes and charges not paid by owner-buye

The negatives of negative gearing
When a large proportion of those with rental properties are using their tenant's income to buy property, to say that landlords are investors is bending the truth. In all other markets, investors use their own money, or pay market price to use other savings, when acquiring assets. To claim the pro

Negative gearing
Your editorial agrees with the Australian Council of Social Services that the negative gearing tax rort should go, but criticises the uses to which we would put the revenue savings (``Negative side of jumping the gun", AFR, July 10). For more than a decade, ACOSS has publicly advocated the a

Positive alternatives to negative gearing

Putting a block on negative gearing - would it pay off?
The tax break that favours property investors is disadvantaging people looking to buy their first homes. Peter Weekes reports.

Forever blowing bubbles
Alan Kohler examines whether negative gearing is distorting the property market and leading to a bubble in investment property.
The Australian Financial Review 12/07/2003 Cost - $2.20 1570 words
We all pay for negative gearing
Simon Crean's instant dismissal of Mark Latham's eminently sensible position on reviewing negative gearing condemns Australia's miners, manufacturers and farmers to a further period of noncompetitive export prices. So long as the Reserve Bank maintains its high interest rate regime compared to

It is interesting to see just in the past fortnight how many articles are about the 'negative aspects' of negative gearing.
A possible solution for the dilemma of the Reserve's problem regarding to the artificially high intesret rate here and the effect of it on the dollar and exporters, should be a restriction of negative gearing. It would put an end of the current boom.
The point I am making is not the wrongs or rights of having / not having negative gearing, but the recent seemingly strong push of changing the rules and potential implications for RE investors.
Just to think of something.
