Thanks for your support. There is no mention if I can add the travel cost to the cost base to calculate CGT when selling the property!
Travel expenditure for rental properties does not form part of the cost base for CGT purposes ....
This has been the case even before the current legislation that excludes rental property travel expenditure as a deduction.
