Hi Community,


I have 2 questions related to the cost base of asset.

  1. I periodically rented out my house. (E.g moved in - rented out - moved in - rented out - sold the house). I claimed the borrowing interest expenses in the renting periods. Can I include the non-deductible interest expenses (not in the renting periods) in the cost base of asset for calculating CGT?
  2. I installed a new kitchen before I rented out my house. At that time, I thought I renovated it for my family to live in. So I didn't keep the invoices. Can I use estimated cost of the kitchen to include in the cost base of asset for calculating CGT?

Many Thanks,

Bluebirds

  1. Yes - only as a holding cost
  2. No - need proof of cost


There may be no CGT anyway - depending on 6 year rule.

@Bruce4Tax

Thanks so much Bruce4Tax!

Can I also include non-deductible Council rates and insurance premiums (not in the renting periods) in the cost base of the asset (the third element) for calculating CGT?


Regards,
