If the deceased acquired the property post Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?

 

If the beneficiary sells a post CGT dwelling of the deceased they will be entitled to a full CGT exemption under Section 188 – 195 of Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 where both the two following conditions are met:

1.     The dwelling was the deceased main residence just before death and was not at that time being used for income producing purposes; and

2.     Either the two year requirement or the specified individuals requirement is satisfied.
