Question
Can you disregard the capital gain made on the disposal of your property under the small business 15 year exemption?
Answer
Yes.
You won’t have an assessable gain on the sale of the active asset as you have met the basic conditions, are over 55 years old and you have owned the active asset for more than 15 years. The Commissioner also considers that the CGT event has happened in connection with your retirement. Further information can be found by searching 'QC 52288' on ato.gov.au
