Hello Everyone,


I am preparing a CGT Schedule for a PPOR Sold last year, I just want to make sure we are not making an mistakes in Tax Return.


Scenario:

  • Owner Bought house and land and Property was settled on 15/12/2015 and Owner lived in that Property for more than 17 months. ( Property was in NT ).
  • On 18/07/2017 Property was put on market for Rent, owner moved to QLD due to work and bought another property to live.
  • After about 5 Years, Rental Property was sold and settled on 27/08/2022 ( contract date was 20/06/2022)


Questions :

  •  New Market value : it will be calculated from the day it was first rented so when calculating Market Value, we are going to need a new building value and land value, We got building value as part of the Building Depreciation Report(Total re-Assessed Construction Costs less ineligible plant and equipment from, new law 09/05/2017).


  • Land Value: Can we use land value when the land was purchase in 2015. Or do we need to get a new land value re-assessed from 18/07/2017 (date first rented). Do we need to engage a quantity surveyor? or it is possible to get a historical land value from NT Land Title Office.


  •  6 Years Rule: Since owner has lived in property for more than 12 months and property is sold within 6 Years. Is owner eligible for 100% CGT Discount ? or 50%, and how do we apply 100% in CGT Schedule in Tax Return .


  • Division 43 – Capital Work Allowance and Cost Base Reduction: Owner has been claiming capital work deduction (Building Depreciation) In last 5 tax returns which amounted to $33,000, Do we need to reduce the cost base by this total amount.


  • CGT Event - Contract Date or Settlement Date: We take CGT Event as of contract date (20/06/2022) , not a settlement date ( 27/08/2022 ), it falls into a different financial year.


Thank You so much in advance.

You can use the 6 year rule. Rented for less than 6 years so can be considered your main residence. Be aware that you can only have one main residence at the same time so if you sell your current home that will be subject to CGT for the period the sold property was rented.

Contract date is used for the disposal date. So that was the 2022 tax year.

If you are claiming main residence exemption (as under 6 year rule) then you don't make any calculations. Simply tick the box that says you had a capital gain event then apply the main residence exemption as listed under the exemptions available.
