Warning: This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances.
People move around a lot these days. So, it is very possible your main residence may become your rental property.
Renting out a house that was your main residence means you get rent, can claim deductions and, when it comes to sell, you often won’t have to pay capital gains tax (CGT). But there are a few requirements to be met before you qualify.
The property must have been your main residence
To qualify for a full CGT exemption, the property must have been your main residence from when you acquired it. If you move out of the property and rent it out, you can continue to claim an exemption from CGT for up to six years after you move out. If you do not rent it out, you can claim a CGT exemption for it for an indefinite period after you move out.
Moving from your main residence could be for reasons such as:
* accepting a new job interstate or overseas
* staying with a sick relative long term, or
* going on an extended holiday. |
