Can myself and my wife buy a house each and have both of those houses classified as our Primary Residence. Is this possible? If so can you please outline CGT impact on selling the property and Stamp Duty when buying. I live in South Australia.
This link explains the main residence exemption (from CGT)
As stated in the link to be exempt from CGT the residence has to be the home of yourself, your partner and other dependents.
If you live apart from your spouse then this link explains the CGT treatment of your respective residences.
Stamp duty is a state tax and outside the scope of this forum.
