Property Usage Timeline

Record each period of use. When switching from Main Residence to Investment, enter the market value at that point — it becomes the investment cost base.

Usage Periods

PPOR
Investment
Absence (6yr)
💡 6-Year Absence Rule: If you move out of your PPOR and rent it out (or leave it vacant), you may treat it as your main residence for up to 6 years — provided you don't nominate another PPOR during that time.

📌 Key Australian CGT Law Dates

• Pre 20 Sep 1985: Full CGT exemption — no CGT applies
• 20 Sep 1985 – 21 Sep 1999: Indexation method or 50% discount — we calculate both and apply the best
• Post 21 Sep 1999: 50% discount only (held >12 months, residents)
• Post 9 May 2017: Non-residents lose main residence exemption (transitional rules for pre-2017 holdings)
• Change of use: When converting PPOR to investment, market value at conversion date becomes new cost base
