Hi All,


I bought property in my home country in 2013 and sold it in Jul2024.

During I owned it, the property was vacant.

I relocated to Australia in 2018 and become PR in 2021.


Pls help me with my questions:

  1. How to calculate the acquisition cost? was it all the money including all exp I paid when I purchased the property in 2013? Or it should be the market value of the property in 2018 the day I relocate and become a student in Australia? or the market value of the property in 2021 when I got my PR?
  2. If the answer for question 1 is market value either 2018 or 2021, how to calculate this market value? Can I use the developer company 2018 or 2021 pricelist for the same house? or should we hire a professional valuator in my country to do the valuation either 2018 or 2021 market value of the property?
  3. I paid legal fees, property agent commission and income tax during the sale transaction, will all these payments be considered as deduction when we calculate the CGT?
  4. If, I ended up get CGT Loss on this transaction, how will this impact my income tax return this year?

Thank you all for your help!
