Frequently Asked Questions
What are body corporate fees?
Body corporate (or owners corporation) fees are levies paid by owners of apartments, units, or townhouses that share common property. They fund day-to-day maintenance (admin fund) and long-term repairs like roof replacement (sinking fund).
Are body corporate fees tax deductible?
Yes — admin fund levies are immediately tax deductible for investment properties. Sinking fund contributions are only deductible when actually spent on repairs, not when paid in advance.
What is a reasonable body corporate fee?
In Australia, expect $2,000–$10,000 per year for a standard apartment. High-rise buildings with pools and gyms can exceed $15,000 annually.
