What is Debt Recycling?

Debt recycling is a tax strategy that converts your non-deductible home loan interest into deductible investment debt.

How It Works

  1. Pay down your home loan: Use extra cash (such as savings or your offset account) to pay down part of your home loan.
  2. Redraw and invest: Redraw the same amount and invest it in income-producing assets, such as shares or an investment property deposit.
  3. Claim the deduction: The interest on this portion of the loan is now tax deductible because the funds are used for investment purposes.

This approach is fully accepted by the ATO, provided it is structured correctly.

Who Should Consider Debt Recycling?

Debt recycling may be suitable if you:

Have a stable income and can service both your home loan and investment loan comfortably

Have surplus cash flow or funds sitting in an offset account

Are comfortable with investment risk and have a long-term investment horizon

Want to build wealth while maintaining your property ownership
