Why keep rental records?

The ATO requires rental property owners to keep income and expense records for at least 5 years. This checklist helps you stay organised throughout the year, not just at tax time.

This checklist is for general record organisation purposes. It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, or professional advice. Consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.
