New build
$310,400
Established
$144,639
+$165,761 more wealth with new build
Negative gearing

Depreciation
+$11,250 / yr 1

Division 40 plant & equipment deductions only apply to new builds. Established stock gets Division 43 capital works only — about half the first-year shield.

Capital gains tax at sale
$75,671 vs $75,671
New build via indexation · Established via indexation · no gap at this growth rate

Stamp duty (VIC)
+$29,250

Victoria assesses off-the-plan investor duty on land value at contract — typically 30–40% of the finished property value. The state's largest single concession to OTP buyers.
