Hi,
Long time reader, hoping one of you kind people will be able to help.
My understanding is that if I was single, owned a house and lived in it for more than 12 months, moved out and rented it for less than 6 years, then sold it, that I could claim CGT exemption as long as I did not own another property that I considered to be my PPOR.
What if I am not single, and instead was living with my spouse in a home owned by my spouse for that time. Am I correct that only one of our houses can be CGT exempt for those 6 years? This was my conclusion when I last researched the topic almost 6 years ago , but I can't find the information on the ATO website now. Can anyone help me out with confirmation and ideally a reference?
Thanks!
