Property investors are on notice ahead of tax time, with the Australian Taxation Office warning landlords against "dodgy deductions" on their annual returns.
The Tax Office has found the majority of rental property owners have made mistakes on their tax returns, even though 86 per cent of those people use a tax agent.
In one case, a Melbourne landlord was claiming new blinds, a cooktop and air conditioners as immediate deductions, where they should have been claimed over time.
