Factors to consider when applying the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) main residence exemption after death?

17 October 2015

Admin User

Under certain circumstances a full or partial CGT exemption may be available to a beneficiary that disposes a main residence.  Things that need to be considered are:

1.     The date the deceased acquired the residence;

2.     The deceased’s use of the residence prior to death;

3.     The length of time the beneficiary held the dwelling after the deceased’s death;

4.     The use of the property following the death of the deceased.
