Tax Time 2025: What the ATO is looking for?

Investing in commercial property offers unique benefits and challenges, from higher yields and bespoke leases to tax considerations. Bartons’ Director Chris Waples and Senior Manager Matt Baczyk discuss the differences between commercial and residential properties. 
 
Although commercial has distinct advantages over residential, commercial properties come with greater vacancy risks and require careful consideration of factors like lease terms, tax obligations, and zoning restrictions. For investors, strategies like using a self-managed super fund (SMSF) can offer tax benefits in retirement, but professional advice is essential to navigate the complexities of this asset class.

They explore the implications for cashflow and tax planning, and outline practical strategies to minimise the financial impact. These include early repayment, negotiating ATO payment plans, seeking interest remissions, or refinancing through non-bank lenders.
