Capital Gains Tax Valuation in Canberra
When you sell a property that is not your primary residence, you may be required to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the profit. While family homes are generally exempt, any property that changes from a primary residence to an investment property, or the other way around, falls under CGT obligations.
To calculate this tax correctly, you need an accurate Capital Gains Tax valuation. This valuation determines the property’s value at a past date, the date when the property’s use changed, or when it was first acquired. Unlike a standard current market valuation, CGT valuations involve detailed research into historic sales data, market conditions, and comparable properties from that period.
Why You Need a CGT Valuation
The difference between the value of your property at the relevant past date and the amount you sold it for determines the level of tax payable. Having an accurate and independent valuation can potentially save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary tax.
