请问自住房出具rent certificate给父母，这个rent需要报income吗？

如果父母同住，并有条件申请rent assistance，但需要我出一个rent certificate给centrelink，这个rent 算我的income吗？不报会有什么影响吗？谢谢了。

If you rent out part or all of your home, the rent money you receive is generally regarded as assessable income. This means:You must declare your rental income in your annual income tax return, and you are entitled to claim income tax deductions for a portion of the associated costs, such as part of the interest on your home loan. You may not be entitled to the full main residence exemption from capital gains tax. You will have to pay capital gains tax on part of any capital gain made when you sell your home. Good and services tax (GST) doesn't apply to residential rental, so you're not liable for GST on the rent you charge and can't claim GST credits for associated costs.
也就是说需要报税，当然也可以抵扣一些费用，并且如果后期出卖房产的时候，增值部分需要缴税，报税情况就比较复杂了。
