The $10,500 Tax Mistake Most Investors Make | FUNdamental Fridays

Welcome back to The Hill I’ll Die On, our Friday mini-series where members of the Property Couch crew share bold property and money opinions they’re willing to stand behind. 

This week, tax expert Danish joins Ben Kingsley with a clear message: 

Don’t DIY your tax return. 

Especially when it comes to capital gains tax. 

Dinesh explains how many property investors miss key deductions, overlook important costs, and end up paying more tax than they need to. 

From stamp duty to holding costs, he breaks down what’s commonly missed — and why having a professional review your position can make a significant difference. 

In fact, in one recent case, a client saved over $10,000 simply by having their tax properly reviewed. 

If you’ve had a capital gains event in the last couple of years, this is an episode worth listening to.
