Hi all,
I will be checking with my accountant but wanted to get some info from you so I ask him some intelligent questions.
I bought an IP in 2005 worth $300K. I have gone through planning and am in the process of subdividing the rear of the property. I am thinking of selling the rear (land only) and expect I will get $250K for the land.
What are the tax implications of doing this? Will I be eligible for the 50% CGT discount or will I pay the full wack?.
I have not applied for the margin scheme as yet and the trust I purchased the property in is not registered for GST (yet) ...and I'm not sure how these variables influence the decision making process.
If I wanted to sell the land as soon (or close to) the subdivision process is complete how would you recommend I should go about legitamately minimising any tax?
Thanks for your time.
