Jamie Alcock, who is Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Sydney joins me.<br \/>\nAssociate Professor, thank you very much for your time.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>It\u2019s a pleasure, Kevin, thank you.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>In your article, you\u2019ve looked at five key myths surrounding negative gearing. I thought we might work through those, then at the end of that, I\u2019d just ask you for a bit of a summary and your points on the issue.<br \/>\nMyth number one: negative gearing is responsible for the recent house price surges in Sydney and Melbourne.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes. Most people are aware that Sydney and Melbourne house prices have dramatically increased in the last three years or so, and that hasn\u2019t seemed to have abated. It seems to be slowing down a little bit, but it hasn\u2019t completely stopped.<br \/>\nPeople have to remember that negative gearing has been around for well over a quarter of a century. It\u2019s extremely unlikely that something that happened 25 years ago is now suddenly kicking in and affecting house prices in only Sydney and Melbourne.<br \/>\nIf negative gearing would truly be responsible for these sort of things, then you would have expected, firstly, for it to be nationwide \u2013 as the tax laws are nationwide \u2013 and secondly, for it to have occurred long ago.<br \/>\nThe real driver of these house price increases is, of course, it all comes down to supply and demand. There\u2019s an increased demand for housing in those cities and there\u2019s restricted supply, and at the same time, the cost of getting into housing \u2013 i.e. the interest rates \u2013 have also dramatically reduced.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, and to believe that myth, you would have to let go of that well-founded theory that it is all based on supply and demand \u2013 prices.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, absolutely, and I think that we have to also keep in the back of our mind what is driving the demand. Of course, jobs and income are big sources for demand, and also interest rates. If interest rates are high, then there are fewer people that can afford to get into the market and repay the mortgage, whereas if interest rates are dropping, then that drives demand up.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Myth number two is that negative gearing makes property unduly attractive for investors.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>This one I find particularly bizarre. Investors pay tax on this investment. The timing of the tax cash flows are that they get a deduction for the costs initially but when they sell the property, they pay a capital gains tax. In most states, they also pay a significant land tax that owner-occupiers don\u2019t have to pay.<br \/>\nTo my mind, if you have the same asset with the same returns, but you have two different investors competing for it, one pays a lot of tax and one pays no tax, who\u2019s going to be driving the market?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, but negative gearing is available for all investments, not just property, isn\u2019t it?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, absolutely. If you borrow money to invest in shares, then you can deduct the cost of the borrowing against the profit made in the shares, and it\u2019s exactly the same thing in property.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>I do think it\u2019s so highlighted because it is such an emotional issue \u2013 young people trying to get into property. Let\u2019s blame negative gearing for increasing prices.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, absolutely. All of us who have bought our first home remember how difficult it was. It\u2019s been difficult forever. It was difficult in 1960 and 1970, and it\u2019s difficult today. The question is, of course, is it any more difficult? I think there are a lot of side issues that have been taken out of the discussion \u2013 things like back in 1960, most families were one-income households. These days, it\u2019s two. The costs of other goods, in real terms, have dramatically reduced in that time.<br \/>\nIf you go back 60 years, the cost of a return airfare to London was about $2000 or $3000. It\u2019s the same price today, but of course, $2000 or $3000 back then was a significant sum of money. Even if you go back 15 or 20 years ago, the entry level for a new car was $20,000, and that remains the same price today, even though people\u2019s incomes and wages have increased. The costs of living have actually decreased, so we have more money to throw into our mortgage, at the same time as interest rates are dropping.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>That pretty well covers off on myth number three \u2013 doesn\u2019t it \u2013 negative gearing pushing aggregate prices out of the reach of average Australians.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, and there\u2019s just absolutely no evidence for it. Prices are going up, but that\u2019s not the key determinant of affordability. At the end of the day, you can imagine an extreme situation where interest rates were not just lower but in fact, negative. Let\u2019s say there are negative interest rates, which there are in some parts of the world. Well, if it\u2019s $10 million and you\u2019re actually being paid to borrow that money, then it\u2019s very affordable. It\u2019s not the actual sticker price that determines affordability.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>How does the current cost of servicing new loans today compare to, say, a decade ago?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>That\u2019s a good question. The Reserve Bank in the submission to the Senate inquiry demonstrated that the cost of servicing new loans at the moment is significantly lower than it has been over the past decade. If you go back even further in time\u2026 Everybody brings this up, but young people trying to enter into the market do have to remember that their parents were entering a market where interest rates were 18%.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>That\u2019s right.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>It was very difficult.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>It was. I lived through that. Myth number four: negative gearing benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor. I love this one.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, and this is something that always comes out, but the tax statistics are there and plain for everybody to look up on the Web. They\u2019re very easy, and they show that the vast majority of investors are actually on the lower end of the income scale. They\u2019re not all making millions of dollars a year. And I love the twist that they say somebody on more than $200,000 is three times more likely than somebody less than $80,000 to have an investment property, but there are a hundred times more people on $80,000 than there are on $200,000, so three times one is still much less than one times a hundred.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, and we\u2019ll deal with the most emotional one, I guess. Myth number five is that negative gearing rules make it more difficult for first-home buyers to enter the housing market.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>There are a number of dimensions to this one. The first one is, of course, the supply and demand of rental housing. With more investors, of course, there are more houses for rent, more properties for rent, which means the supply is greater and rental prices come down. This allows first-home buyers a greater opportunity to save for a deposit.<br \/>\nBut I think the other thing to remember in this whole discussion is that why are people trying to buy a house in the first place? It\u2019s not for the need of housing; they can get that through the rental market. What is it that people are actually seeking through purchasing a property?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Wealth creation.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Wealth creation, and importantly, tax-free wealth creation.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>It\u2019s the only tax-free asset that we have in this country \u2013 owner-occupier housing \u2013 and that\u2019s what people are chasing. Negative-gearers pay tax. They\u2019re not tax-free, so they\u2019re not driving the market. They\u2019re trying to anticipate market movements, but they\u2019re not driving the market. It\u2019s owner-occupiers who are driving the market. 85 to 90% of properties are owner-occupier, so they\u2019re definitely driving the market.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Associate Professor, let\u2019s deal with another \u2013 not so much a myth, but some commentary surrounding negative gearing. Some commentators have suggested that rents did not increase during the 1985 negative gearing upheaval that we experienced. Could you address that for us?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes. It\u2019s a complex issue, but the very first thing that you need to remember with property is that all property markets are slow to respond. If I make a change today, it\u2019s very unlikely that you\u2019re going to see a change in property tomorrow. These things occur over a medium to long term, so even over an 18-month period, you\u2019re very unlikely to see markets change, simply because, for example, most rents are locked in for extended periods of time. In addition, if demand goes up, then it takes many, many years for markets to respond, to get planning permission, to actually construct the properties, to sell them, etc.<br \/>\nIt takes years for the markets to respond, so just making one change and looking at what happens over the next 18 months is not a particularly good test, but even if you do believe that, even if you think that that is a good test \u2013 which I don\u2019t, but if you do believe that \u2013 then don\u2019t just look what happened to rents at that time; look what happened to prices. During that time, prices rose 20%, so if negative gearing was the cause of all this and you remove it, then prices should have gone down, not up.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, we don\u2019t hear about that side of it. There\u2019s another side that we don\u2019t hear about, and that is the impact, if negative gearing were to be scraped, on those who actually relied on investing property to build their wealth. What would be the impact there, say, of a 10% reduction in the average house price?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Let\u2019s assume for a moment that all the doomsayers are correct and there is a reduction in house prices that did occur rather rapidly. Not only is this going to affect a lot of people who are currently owners of property and have established their wealth, but it\u2019s also likely to create a banking crisis, because 90% of retail banking business is mortgages. You\u2019re likely to have a real systemic crisis brought on by a sudden drop in house price. As we saw in the US, there was a sudden drop in house prices, worldwide crisis.<br \/>\nI think another issue that is worth discussing is to look at countries that have similar property titles to ours, and say what happens there and how does their housing affordability rank?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Which countries would they be?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>The ones that I usually look at are the US and the UK, because both of those countries have perpetual title, as we do. There is no mandatory leasehold, and they have secure titles, so there are very few challenges to ownership, which there are in a lot of countries.<br \/>\nIn the UK, they have tax-free status for owner-occupiers, as Australia does, and they have no negative gearing rules like Australia does. They have something similar to what the Labor Party is suggesting. And housing affordability in the UK is even worse than it is in Australia. It takes 10 to 12 years of income to crack into the entry-level housing as opposed to eight or nine.<br \/>\nThen you compare in the US, where they have taxes on their owner-occupiers \u2013 and they\u2019re significant taxes. Depending on the state, they are usually somewhere between 1% and 2% of the market value of the property each year, so if you have a $1 million property, that\u2019s a $20,000 tax check you have to pay out of your after-tax income. And their housing affordability is a lot lower.<br \/>\nWhen you compare the UK and Australia, and you have one has negative gearing and the other one doesn\u2019t, then they\u2019re both unaffordable. Then you compare Australia and the US, one has tax on owner-occupiers and one doesn\u2019t, and that does affect affordability. It becomes quite clear that the driver of housing unaffordability or high house prices is not negative gearing rules; it\u2019s the sweet tax deal that we give to owner-occupiers.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Yes, interesting. I just wonder if we could deal with one last issue, and that is maybe a solution here. If the government genuinely do want to make housing more affordable, how can they go about it? What options should they explore?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>There are so many options available to them to make housing more affordable. Clearly, the planning system is incredibly complex. There\u2019s a lot of red and green tape, and most of that is unnecessary. That could be easily reduced, increasing supply. They could also simplify and relax the stamp duty system in its totality. It\u2019s an incredibly inefficient tax. It\u2019s a tax not on occupying or housing; it\u2019s a tax simply on moving, on improving your life. Also \u2013 and this is possibly a little bit controversial \u2013 is to reduce social housing.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>How would that work?<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Social housing has two components to it. One is the construction of new housing, and then the second part is restricting access to that housing. I\u2019m all for building new houses \u2013 that will certainly increase supply and increase affordability \u2013 but the free market can do that; that\u2019s not the domain of social housing. The key part of social housing is restricting access to housing that exists, and that reduces supply and drives up prices, not the other way around.<br \/>\nThey could also start tightening up trade union legislation and increasing urban infrastructure coverage, and they could also think about possibly changing the tax from a stamp duty to an annual land tax for <i>all<\/i> housing owners, not just investors.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Broaden it out a lot more.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Jamie:\u00a0 <\/b>Broaden it, absolutely.<b><\/b><br \/>\n<b>Kevin:\u00a0 <\/b>Jamie, thank you so much for your time.
