All Topics / Help Needed! / CGT need help
Hi everyone, got a CGT question please help:
I just bought a property for investment purpose, after done some reno where can I get a new higher valuation which I could use for reducing CGT after say 5-10years later when sell it? Thanks!
Don't think getting a valuation would reduce CGT.
What do you mean? are you living in the house?

Hi Terryw, I'm not living in the property. I'm going to rent out after reno, so CGT would be the difference between the selling price and buying price ? or selling price and the valuation I could get after reno? because the income start after reno, a bit confuse about this. thanks!
I think you will find CGT will be calculated on the sell price less the buy price less any expenses including some expenses you incur on the reno, but not all. I dont think a valuation will be necessary for CGT purposes.
Best to talk to your tax advisor.

Hi Jlillian
Keeping in mind that I’m not an accountant and would always insist that you seek professional assistance, I believe a valuation would only be necessary if you lived in the property and converted it into an IP down the track. If this were the case, then a high valuation at the time it becomes and IP would be beneficial.
