Inherited Property and CGT

How to minimise tax liabilities and maximise the concessions

Step-by-step guide to calculating capital gains and losses
Understand the concessions that can apply to minimise tax liabilities

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

While many practitioners and clients are familiar with the key concepts that apply when calculating capital gains, applying the CGT discount and main residence exemption rules, a different process needs to be followed when dealing with property that has been inherited through a deceased estate.

Unfortunately, some clients end up paying more tax than they really need to because no one realised how generous the concessions could actually be.

The Dealing with Inherited Property webinar shows you how to minimise tax liabilities and maximise the concessions for clients who inherit property through a deceased estate.
