We’ve been working with Rafal for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with his services. He’s incredibly reliable, always professional, and takes the time to explain things in detail. One of the best parts is that he speaks both Polish and English, which makes communication a breeze. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy accountant!

I have been using the Tax Accounting Group for over one year. I am very pleased with the professionalism of Rafal’s services. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for his work. As a small business owner I highly recommend the Tax Accounting Group to anyone who wants outstanding tax services.

Raf has been taxing care of my company’s tax for the last few years. A big positive change from the previous two tax agencies I had tried. Raf takes a personal, hands-on attitude – I feel as though he treats my company accounting as though it were his own. Raf is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

It was such a relief for me to let Raf do all of my tax return in the past few years. There is alot of thing I don’t know about doing a proper tax return. Since I used Raf’s service, I received a much bigger return that I had previously. One less thing to worry about every financial year: check!

I’ve been through several different accountants in the past and no other accountant put so much time and effort into understanding my family businesses including our complex family business structure than Tax Accounting Group and Raf in particular. My family had overdue returns, my businesses had messy accounts (despite paying bookkeppers) and I always felt like I was overpaying my taxes. Raf and his team not only brought all my accounts up to date and prepared all my outstanding business returns but Raf also made sure I understood what he was doing. He even found some errors in my already lodged tax returns and amended them saving me a couple of thousands! Raf is very responsive and would always promptly answer every question I had. He knows his stuff and is very easy to talk to. Thank you for your hard work!

I have used Raf for my personal tax returns over the past couple of years. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding the process and made suggestions on things we could claim for that my wife and I never even considered previously. I have typically taken a DIY stance when it came to tax returns prior to going through Tax Accounting Group; though this often meant i only got to claim back a couple of hundred dollars in previous years. This time i got a $3000 refund and last year $2500. So for the price I paid for engaging Raf to do my last couple of tax returns, it was worth it many times over. Definitely recommend others to use them and in doing so support this local small business.
Investment Property Accountant in Sydney
Investment property tax can look simple until the records, deductions, ownership and long-term plans all start to connect.
You may own one rental property, a growing portfolio, a former home that is now rented out or a property held through a trust, company, SMSF or family structure. You might be unsure what you can claim, whether your rental records are clean, how capital gains tax may apply or whether your current ownership setup still suits your future plans.
I’m Rafal Slowinski, Director of Tax Accounting Group Pty Ltd. I help property investors in Sydney understand the tax and accounting side of owning, renting, selling and structuring investment property.
You do not need to arrive with perfect records. If the property income, expenses, loans, repairs, or ownership history feels unclear, that is where we start.

For property investors, that means I do not only look at the rent received and the expenses claimed.
I look at how the property is owned, how it has been used, what records exist, whether the loan and interest have been handled correctly, whether repairs and improvements are being treated properly and what may happen if the property is sold or passed on later.
Good rental property tax advice should help you understand both this year’s return and the bigger tax picture.
Rental Property Accounting in Sydney
Rental property accounting in Sydney should give you clean records and a clear tax position, not just a rushed list of deductions at tax time.
I can help review rental income, property management statements, loan interest, council rates, strata fees, insurance, repairs, maintenance, land tax, depreciation reports, borrowing costs and other records connected to the property.
The important part is not only finding deductions.
The important part is making sure each claim is supported, recorded correctly and treated in the right year. A repair, an improvement and a capital cost may look similar in your bank account, but they can be treated differently for tax purposes.
If your records are scattered across bank statements, emails, property manager reports and receipts, I can help you work out what is missing and what needs to be organised before the return is prepared.
Tax Accountant for Investment Property Owners in Sydney
As a tax accountant for investment property owners in Sydney, I help you understand how the property affects your personal or business tax position.
That may include negative gearing, rental income, shared ownership, mixed personal and rental use, refinancing, redraws, loan splits, depreciation, capital works, repairs, interest deductions and the tax impact of changing how the property is used.
If you have more than one property, the accounting needs to be even clearer. Each property should be tracked properly so income, expenses, loans and deductions do not get mixed together.
I also look for the issues that often cause trouble later.
Was the property once your main residence? Has it been partly rented? Has a family member lived there? Have major renovations been completed? Is the ownership held personally, jointly, through a trust or through another structure?
Those details can matter when preparing the current return and when planning for a future sale.
Investment Property Bookkeeping in Sydney
Property bookkeeping is easier when handled during the year rather than reconstructed at the end.
I can help with investment property bookkeeping in Sydney, including tracking rental income, coding expenses, recording loan interest, managing property manager statements, processing supplier invoices, maintaining depreciation records and bookkeeping for real estate investors who hold more than one property.
If you already use Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or another system, I can help review whether the property transactions are being recorded in a useful way.
If you do not use accounting software for your rental property, I can still help you create a cleaner record-keeping process so tax time is not built on guesswork.
Good rental property bookkeeping in Sydney should make it easier to answer basic questions: what did the property earn, what did it cost, what can be claimed and what records support the claim?
Capital Gains Tax, GST And Selling A Property
The biggest tax surprise for property investors often arrives when a property is sold.
Capital gains tax can depend on when the property was purchased, how it was used, whether it was ever your main residence, what improvements were made, what records are available and how the property is owned.
I can help review the cost base, purchase and sale documents, improvement costs, legal fees, selling costs, ownership history and possible CGT concessions or exemptions before the sale is reported.
GST may also need attention in some property situations, particularly where commercial property, new residential property, development activity or business use is involved.
It is always better to ask before signing, selling or restructuring. Once the transaction has already happened, the options may be more limited.
Ownership, Estate Planning And Family Decisions
Investment property often connects with family wealth, retirement plans and estate planning.
You may be thinking about transferring property, buying through a trust, holding property with a spouse or family member, passing property to children or reviewing whether your current setup still makes sense.
As an estate planning accountant in Sydney, my role is to help with the tax and accounting side of those decisions. I do not replace your solicitor or financial adviser, but I can work alongside them so the tax consequences, ownership history, capital gains tax and record keeping issues are properly considered.
A property decision made for family reasons can still create tax consequences.
That is why it helps to review the accounting and tax position before the transfer, sale or restructure is finalised.

Frequently Asked Questions
Keep property manager statements, rental income records, loan statements, interest details, council rates, strata fees, insurance, repairs, maintenance invoices, depreciation reports, legal costs and documents for any improvements. These records help support deductions and future capital gains tax calculations.
Yes. I can review the records you have, identify what is missing and help organise the income, expenses, loan information and property documents before the tax return is prepared.
A repair usually restores something that has worn out or broken. An improvement may add something new or make the property better than it was before. The tax treatment can be different, so it is worth checking before assuming the full cost can be claimed immediately.
Yes. Before selling, I can help review the ownership history, cost base, main residence issues, improvement records and possible capital gains tax impact. This gives you a clearer view before the tax result becomes a surprise.
Yes. I can help organise bookkeeping for real estate investors in Sydney, including separating income, expenses, loans and records for each property so the tax position is easier to understand and support.
I can help with the accounting and tax side of property ownership, transfers, CGT and family structures. If legal estate planning documents are needed, I can work alongside your solicitor to ensure the tax issues are properly considered.
