    PPOR + Granny Flat - Does this trigger CGT when selling?

    If I were to build a granny flat out the back of my PPOR and rent it out for a period of time, would capital gains tax be triggered when I sell the property as a whole? In theory, only the increase in value of the secondary dwelling should be taxed. Cheers.
