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.
Example: Full exemption - moved out and returned within 6 years.
Bill purchased his house in Brisbane in January 2000. He moved in immediately and after six months went on a working holiday around Australia for one year. While he was in Tasmania he met his future partner Maria and lived with her in her rented flat for five years. During this time his home in Brisbane was rented out and was producing income. He returned to Brisbane with Maria and moved back into his home. Several months later, he decided to sell his home. Bill did not own any other properties during this time and is able to treat his home as his main residence and be exempt from capital gains tax on the house as he moved back in within six years.
