My sibling and I will inherit a property 50/50 upon my parents passing.

I am trying to determine the tax implications if I choose to buy them out and make the property my new primary place of residence.

I assume that if the will lists us as 50/50 recipients then I will need to transfer the title to myself only which will then trigger a stamp duty payment.

If I purchase their 50% straight away then I understand that no CGT would be payable.

Would appreciate any thoughts as to whether I have this correct, or if I have missed something.

You first need to determine whether the property is CGT exempt. Questionnaire below can determine that.

Inherited property and CGT | Australian Taxation Office

If it is then there are no CGT implications if you purchase the other beneficiary's share within 2 years and make the property your main residence.
