Property Decision Engine

What do I do with my Australian property?

Australian property is the one asset class Australia never lets go of. It stays inside the CGT net no matter where you live. But when you sell changes the bill enormously. A former home sold while you're non-resident loses the main residence exemption for the entire ownership period, not just the years away. An investment property's 50% discount stops accruing the day you leave.

This tool registers each property and prices all three paths, sell before departure, sell while away, sell after returning, plus what keeping it costs you each year in non-resident rent tax and state surcharges. No recommendations; just the three numbers side by side.
