    G'day,

    Have a question, can't seem to find anything with the search function:

    IP bought early 80s, was subdivided early 90s and new house built IP also (battle axe block). Looking to sell the original house now, keep the newer 90s house for now.

    What are the tax implications? Broadly.

    My uneducated guess was, need an appraisal/valuation at time of the subdivision for land component of the new block, the new house build and that land val forms the cost base of the new property and the old house should be still CGT free??

    Dont forget the GST valuation and that MUST be done by a registered valuer NOT a real estate agent

    If you own a residential rental property that was rented from the early 1990’s the sale will not attract gst.

    a valuation of the seperate 1990’s home asset will be needed on sale as that is the cgt event. The new home is a seperate asset.

    the land should still be pre cgt. The subdivision of land does not change the pre cgt nature of the land.
