Tax Accountant South Morang — RPS Accountants, Plenty Valley Corridor VIC
South Morang is growing faster than almost anywhere else in Victoria’s northern corridor. The estates around Plenty Valley, The Stables Town Centre, and the Mernda growth areas are bringing a steady flow of young families, first-time investors and new business operators who suddenly find their tax situation has become more complex than a basic myGov return can handle. We’re in Epping, 15 minutes away, and we specialise in exactly these situations.
Who We Work With in South Morang
Young families with dual incomes, first-time property investors in the growth corridor, new business operators who’ve started a side business or left employment to go out on their own. These clients often have questions they didn’t have two years ago — about negative gearing, about whether they can claim the spare room they work from, about what happens when they sell their first investment property.

What We See With South Morang Clients
First-time investment property owners in South Morang and Mernda frequently miss the depreciation schedule — particularly on new builds where it can be substantial. If you’ve bought a new house-and-land package in the last 5 years and haven’t had a depreciation schedule done, you’ve almost certainly been leaving money with the ATO.

Frequently Asked Questions
I just bought an investment property in South Morang. What do I need to do?
Several things before your first return: commission a depreciation schedule from a quantity surveyor (the cost is deductible and the ongoing annual benefit is typically significant for new builds), keep all purchase-related costs for your cost base calculation, and set up separate accounts for rental income and expenses. Come and see us before July and we’ll make sure the first return is done correctly.
I started a business from home in South Morang — what can I claim?
Home-based businesses can claim occupancy expenses based on the floor area used exclusively for business. There are two methods — fixed rate (simpler) and actual cost (often higher). We’ll model both for your situation and explain which suits you better.
My partner and I have very different incomes. Can we reduce our combined tax?
There are legitimate strategies — spouse super contributions, appropriate investment structuring, and income splitting through a family trust for business owners. These need to be done carefully and correctly to withstand ATO scrutiny. We’ll look at your combined picture before recommending anything.
