i.e.,
1. on 1/1/2010 you took-out a 5 year fixed mortgage. The fixed rate period lapses and you move onto a variable rate. The relevant date is 1/1/2010.
2. on 1/1/2010 you took-out a 5 year fixed mortgage. Before the fixed rate period lapses, you obtain a variable rate mortgage to commence on 1/1/2015. The relevant date is 1/1/2015

Market value of the property at 5 April 2015

HMRC advise that you can obtain a valuation via a RICS surveyor or estate agent.

They also suggest that a reasonable estimate is sufficient. For example, you could arrive at a value by looking at what similar properties in the area sold for at the time and taking an average. This can be readily accessed from websites such as Rightmove. Alternatively, we can estimate the value by looking at the UK House Price Index from acquisition to sale, please let us know if you would like for us to do this.

Details of any enhancement expenditure incurred on the property

Please provide details of enhancement expenditure:

Please note that you cannot claim relief for any expenditure that was incurred on the property and has been claimed on a UK and/or Australian tax return (i.e. you replaced the boiler and included the expenditure as a deduction against your rental profits – in this instance, the expenditure is not included on the CGT computation).

Expenditure incurred on decorating (i.e., painting), replacement carpets, cookers, fridges, freezers are not capital in nature and may instead be a deduction against rental profit. Moreover, if you replaced laminate flooring with flooring of a similar standard (albeit a newer version) this is also not capital in nature and will not be included as a deduction on your CGT comps.

Please note that only expenditure which has resulted in an improvement to the property which is reflected in the value of the property at the date of disposal is allowed as a deduction on the CGT computation.

To this end, please provide the following information:

Description of expenditure incurred
Amount incurred (GBP)

Tax recognition date for Australian tax purposes

Did you arrive in Australia as a permanent resident or citizen of Australia?

This is the date you will be deemed to have acquired the property for Australian tax purposes – the tax recognition date.

If you arrived in Australia on a temporary resident visa then the tax recognition date will be the earlier of:

i. The date you were granted permanent residence status, or
ii. The date you entered into a de facto relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident. If you arrived in Australia in a de facto relationship or married to an Australian citizen or permanent resident, then this will be the tax recognition date.

Ordinarily, the ATO require a professional valuation. You can request this from the estate agent who assisted with the property sale provided that they are qualified in the UK to provide valuations.

Costs of Ownership

It may be possible to claim relief for certain costs incurred during the period of your ownership of the property when it was not let to tenants. If the property has always been let to tenants then this is not relevant to you.

To this end:

Please provide the totals of the following costs incurred during the period of your ownership when the property was not let to tenants. If helpful, you may provide a summary of these costs in an Excel spreadsheet, itemising:

  • A description of the cost (e.g., mortgage interest),
  • The date of payment,
  • The amount, and
  • The currency of the payment.

While this level of detail is not required as part of this exercise, please note that the ATO may request substantiation for any costs included in the Australian tax return if they review the relevant sale.

Please provide totals of the following costs incurred the during period of your ownership of the property when it was not let to tenants.
