Negative gearing is a feature of the Australian tax system where losses (including interest expenses) on investments can be used to reduce the tax payable on the taxpayer’s other income, such as their salary income.
Some have advocated for the removal of negative gearing. Discuss the arguments for and against the removal of negative gearing. In your discussion, please consider this in the context of fairness, efficiency, protection of government revenue and any other relevant considerations.
