Austral's Deposit Bond Guarantee

Austral’s Deposit Power Guarantee (also known as Deposit Bond) is a fast, convenient and inexpensive way for you to arrange the 10% deposit when you sign contracts on your new property.

The deposit guarantee acts as a substitute for the cash deposit in between signing a contract and settlement of the property. At settlement, the purchaser is required to pay the full purchase price including the deposit.

This provides a low cost, flexible option if your money is tied up, but you will be able to pay the deposit at settlement time. It’s particularly useful at auctions.

The deposit guarantee can be issued for all or part of the deposit amount required (up to 10% of the purchase price). You pay the vendor their deposit at settlement. In addition to satisfying the eligibility criteria, all that’s required for a Deposit Power Guarantee is proof of funds to complete the purchase, such as share certificates, the signed contract for the sale of an existing property or a loan approval. Normally a Deposit Power Guarantee will be issued within 24 hours.

Whether you are buying at auction or from a sale list, a Deposit Power Guarantee can be tailored to meet your needs.
Please Note: Deposit Bond Gurantees are only available to approved loan applicants with Austral Mortgage.

WEALTH MAXIMISER - INVESTOR ASSIST UPDATE - JUNE 2008
The ATO has recently published an edited version of a Private Ruling on its website: http://www.ato.gov.au/rba/content.asp?doc=/rba/content/81797.htm A taxpayer and client of Austral Mortgage, applied for the private ruling to seek confirmation from the ATO that if there was a shortfall between his investment income and his investment outgoings then that shortfall could be capitalised under the home and investment loan & line of credit structure noted in his application.

WEALTH MAXIMISER UPDATE - MAY 2008
Ever since the High Court decision in Hart's case, taxpayers have been seeking clarity from the ATO on the deductibility of capitalised interest in certain loan structures. On 16th April 2008 a favourable Private Ruling issued to an Austral client that provides insight into the ATO's current thinking on the subject.

WEALTH MAXIMISER UPDATE - FEBRUARY 2008
Wealth Maximiser Update 12th February 2008 - We have advice from the ATO that it is well advanced on a binding Tax Determination regarding the deductibility of capitalised interest on a line of credit facility. Borrowers with both a home loan and an investment loan should consider including a capitalising line of credit within their loan structure or at least ascertaining from their lender that they could access such a facility by way of a simple variation of their existing mortgage.
