Are you in the business of renovating properties?

Work out if your renovation is classified as 'a profit-making activity' and how it may affect your obligations.

Last updated 9 June 2020

If you renovate one or more properties, you need to work out if you:

  • are in the business of renovating properties
  • are carrying on a profit-making activity of property renovations, also known as 'property flipping'
  • are a personal property investor
  • have undertaken renovations that constitute substantial renovations.

Your conclusion will affect your tax obligations and entitlements.
