Thinking of selling your property or shares anytime this year?

Here's a sample computation of your capital gains tax upon sale:

Sale Value

Less:

Purchase of property

Stamp Duty on purchase

Legal Fee on purchase

Legal Fee on the sale

Commission sale

Advertising on sale

Building depreciation adds back

Other depreciation as per schedule

*Note: The last 2 can be forgotten. But if you have been claiming these amounts as per the depreciation schedules prepared by BMT or Depreciator then it is important you do the add back. In Xero, it requires you to do a minus “-“ in front of the dollar amount.

The calculations for establishing your capital gains tax can be quite complicated.  At R J Sanderson, we can make the process simple and calculate this for you. To arrange a discussion to talk about your CGT and obligations, call 1300 27 28 29 or email us today: info@rjsanderson.com.au
