    negative gearing is a concession granted by the govt because it is contrary to the principles of taxation law

    under taxation law, one can only claim a revenue deduction for the purpose of earning assessable income

    however, as a negatively geared property cannot earn a profit, it can only be determined the purpose of the negative gearing for capital gain

    therefore, under taxation principles, it is correct that the interest expense on an investment rental property be included in the CGT cost base

    however, the govt has decided to give a special concession for negative gearing

    this is why negative gearing is not allowable in many countries

    it is contrary to taxation law & principles
