You've probably heard the whispers or read in the media that the taxman is on the hunt. The Australian Taxation Office is implementing some innovative strategies and forming new alliances to recoup billions of dollars of revenue deficit. This means Australian property investors should be on high alert and make sure they have completed all their obligations correctly. To discuss how to avoid getting trapped by the tax man today I'm joined today by Rob Thompson, Assistant Tax Commissioner at the ATO. We are going to discuss some things that will help you understand what your obligations are and how not to get yourself in trouble, particularly some aspects that relate to property investors.

What will life be like in 10 years? Strategic property investors think in 10-year time frames,  they don’t worry about what’s going to happen to interest rates or the economy in the next six weeks or the next six months. In my mind, 10 years is a short term and the successful investors I know ponder about what the housing markets will be like in 20 to 30 years. We are living through times of rapid change, but most of us don’t like change. It makes us feel uncomfortable. We like a level of certainty about our future, health, and jobs, as well as about the worlds of finance and property that most of us are interested in. But there are history lessons that can provide us with valuable insights. In today’s episode, I’d like to talk about some of the things that never change in a world that never stops changing. Successful investors and businesspeople need to be prepared for change but also understand the things that don’t change. Hopefully, by the end of today’s show, you’ll come out with some ideas about how to get some more certainty in these uncertain times.

Today I’m going to discuss several topics of interest for property investors with Mike Mortlock, the Managing Director of MCG Quantity Surveyors. Mike's team has recently released a report titled 'Rising Tide of Unit Rents Closes Gap with Houses in Major Capitals' that sheds light on some transformative trends and provides an understanding of the shifts in housing affordability and renter preferences. We also talk about the growing concern that the government may look at changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax before the next election and discuss the other side of the equation, about the important role property investors, play in our housing markets.
