Investing in Property versus Shares

When answering the question of investing in property versus shares the important thing to remember is that this is a question purely based on preference, risk and return, not one of tax effectiveness because if these two very different products are used in the same way, both can provide the same tax benefits.

  • Long term investment in property - rental income and capital appreciation

  • Long term investment in shares - dividend income and capital appreciation

  • Short term investment in property - capital appreciation

  • Short term investment in shares - capital appreciation

The only real difference from a tax perspective when looking at these two investments is that there may be depreciation deductions and in many cases depreciation claw backs applicable to those investors with property.
