Australia’s tax collector says it is ready and willing to apply extra scrutiny to the tax returns of those with an investment property if need be.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has cautioned property investors not to bet against them when it comes to filing their tax return properly.
The ATO revealed that, in the previous financial year, over 1.8 million Australians with rental properties claimed $38 billion in deductions.
However, assistant commissioner Tim Loh revealed that the ATO adjusted more than 70 per cent of the 2019-20 returns selected for review.
