Hello, I own an investment property that I plan to demolish and build two new townhouses. I would like to transfer the property to one of my trust accounts owned by me. What taxes could potentially impact this?

Hi @laoman2417,
If you transfer your property to a trust, it’s treated like you sold it, even if no money is exchanged. This means you may have to pay capital gains tax based on the market value of the property at the time of transfer.
Once the property is in the trust, any future sale or disposal may also trigger CGT for the trust. The gain can be shared with beneficiaries depending on how the trust is set up.
