In Australia, buyers’ agent’s fees can be tax deductible in certain circumstances. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows the deduction of buyers’ agent fees if the property being purchased is for investment purposes. The fees can be claimed as a tax deduction under the category of “costs of purchasing a rental property”. However, it’s important to note that buyers’ agent fees are not tax deductible if the property is being purchased for personal use, such as a primary residence. It is advisable to consult with your accountant to determine if the fee is tax deductible in your specific situation.
