Capital Gains Tax
At Vantage Valuation we regularly undertake market valuations for taxation purposes that meet the requirements of the Australian Tax Office.
When a property is sold, transferred, or gifted for more than its original cost, the profit or gain is considered a capital gain and may be subject to capital gains tax, which is calculated as a percentage of the capital gain.
​
We have the experience and expertise to provide a market valuation for taxation purposes that satisfy all 19 of the reporting requirements of the Australian Tax Office.
​
Sometimes the original cost of a property is not known, for example,
​
-
If a property was previously inherited; or
​
-
If extensive renovations were previously completed, and records of those costs are unavailable (the renovation could inflate the capital gain liability in the absence of a valuation which identifies the value it added); or
​
-
If a valuation was not undertaken at the time a property became, or ceased being used as an investment property.
In these instances, we can provide a retrospective valuation to determine market value of a property at a date in the past.
