Hey All,

We did a knock Down and Rebuild for our home . We built a duplex so one can be our home and the other will be investment property. during KDR We rented a house.


Once the duplex was ready, we continued staying in the rented house. We rented both unit to tenants (only has been less than a year).


Will our own house considered an investment property and CGT will apply because I rented once it was ready ? Or because we used to live in it before KDR and we don't have other property no CGT will apply?

(I know that second unit will be considered investment property, I am asking for my unit where we will live one day) .

CGT will apply. Link explains what you must do if you demolish and rebuild to continue to regard the dwelling as your main residence.

"You need to move into the dwelling as soon as practicable after it is finished and continue to use it as your main residence for at least 3 months."
