THE UDZ TAX ADVANTAGE (CRITICAL FOR INVESTORS)
This property is situated within the City of Johannesburg's Urban Development Zone (UDZ) . This is a game-changer for your bottom line.
As a buyer, you qualify for significant tax allowances on both the purchase price and any renovations you undertake :
For Renovations/Refurbishments: You can claim an accelerated depreciation allowance of 20% of the refurbishment cost per year for five years . This drastically reduces your taxable income annually.
For the Purchase: If the building was recently renovated or constructed by the developer, a portion of your purchase price qualifies for a tax deduction .
