As a member of the Finance and Expenditure Committee, speaking in favour of the Government's Taxation (Annual Rates for 2021-22, GST, and Remedial Matters) Bill, the new legislation sends a very strong message: if you are planning to invest in housing for the rental market, build new. Build new and contribute to the housing supply, because the more we build, the more affordable housing becomes for more people. Even if you are a mum or dad investor who has a rental property that you've been renting out and may well have had it for well over a decade, here is a real opportunity to take advantage of interest deductibility and only a five-year brightline test by building new and investing in new housing. Be part of fixing the housing crisis by selling your existing rental and having a new, modern investment by investing in a new build for the rental market.
