Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use redraw for anything I want?

Yes - for owner-occupier loans there are no legal restrictions. However, using investment property loan redraw for personal purposes destroys tax deductibility on that portion.

Is redraw better than an offset account?

For owner-occupiers wanting simplicity: redraw is fine. For investors or those who may convert their home to a rental: offset accounts are significantly better - withdrawals don't affect deductibility.
