To help you navigate this period effectively and enhance your returns here are my EOFY tips for landlords:

1. Review Rental Income: Evaluate the rental income received throughout the financial year, including rent payments and any additional income streams.
2. Assess Deductions: Identify deductible expenses associated with the rental property, such as maintenance costs, property management fees, and insurance premiums.
3. Claim Depreciation: Consider claiming depreciation on eligible assets within the rental property, such as building structures, fixtures, and fittings, to maximise tax deductions.
4. Review Insurances: Ensure adequate insurance coverage for the rental property, including landlord insurance to protect against risks such as property damage, loss of rental income, and liability claims.
5. Keep Detailed Records: Maintain accurate records of rental-related expenses, income, and transactions to substantiate claims made during tax filing.
6. Consult Tax Professionals: Seek advice from tax professionals or accountants specialising in rental property taxation to ensure compliance with tax regulations and maximise available deductions.
7. Consider Property Improvements: Evaluate potential improvements to the rental property that may qualify for tax deductions, such as renovations, upgrades, or energy-efficient installations.
8. Monitor Rental Market Trends: Stay informed about rental market trends, including vacancy rates, rental yields, and tenant preferences, to make informed decisions about rental pricing and property management strategies.
9. Conduct Regular Inspections: Schedule regular inspections of the rental property to assess its condition, address maintenance issues promptly, and ensure tenant satisfaction.
10. Stay Informed: Stay updated on changes to rental property laws, regulations, and taxation policies that may impact your investment, and seek professional guidance if necessary.
