flag Australia limits holiday home tax deductions to rental-related costs unless primarily for income, with new rules starting Nov. 12, 2025.

flag Starting November 12, 2025, a new Australian tax ruling limits deductions for holiday homes to only expenses directly tied to rental income, such as advertising and cleaning, unless the property is primarily held for income. flag Ownership costs like interest, rates, insurance, and repairs are no longer deductible if the home is mainly for personal use, even with occasional rentals. flag The Australian Tax Office will assess intent based on behavior, not just rental days. flag Unrecovered expenses can still increase the cost base, reducing future capital gains tax. flag Existing arrangements have until July 1, 2026, to adjust. flag Meanwhile, Centrelink allows upsize moves using inheritance without losing pension eligibility, though moving costs may offset benefits.
