SearchNo loss deductions
Ricardo asks:
(updated on Friday, December 23rd 2016)
I have two leasehold apartments within the Auckland CBD (relatively low value, $40-50k range). These were purchased purely for rental. During the course of my four year ownership, there have been ground rent reviews for each of these, which have resulted in a 2-3x rise in rent.
I have been told by the real estate agents that the expected price would be significant lower than what I paid for, sustaining a capital loss. Would I be able to claim back capital loss on sale of these apartments?
Our Experts Answer:
No, there is no deductions for loss on disposal of property purchased for investment - just as there is no capital gains tax on a profit.
