When a Box Hill cost base property valuation applies

🔑

The first tenants moved in

Box Hill has a high share of tenanted property. The day the first tenant moved in is the day that set the figure.

📦

Moved out, kept the place

Upgraded and held on to the old one? If it earns rent now, its value on the first day of tenancy is what counts.

🛏

Part of the place, let

Renting out part of the property counts the same way. A signed valuation hands your accountant a figure to work from rather than an approximation.

What Box Hill owners ask about a cost base property valuation.

What does a cost base valuation report establish?+

It provides an evidenced market value at the date a tax rule sets or resets the property's value for cost base purposes. Your accountant then applies that value with the other allowable cost base elements relevant to your circumstances.

Why might I need a valuation at 1 July 2027?+

The 2026-27 CGT reforms use 1 July 2027 as the transition point for gains accruing under the new indexation arrangements. If the transitional rules apply to your asset, a contemporaneous market valuation can evidence the value used for that date. Confirm eligibility with your tax adviser.

Can you prepare the cost base valuation after the relevant date?+

Yes. A retrospective report can reconstruct market value at a past date using period sales and available property evidence. Ordering earlier can make records easier to obtain, but a later report is still possible where suitable evidence exists.

Can this report value a home when it first became a rental?+

Yes. Where the home first used to produce income rule applies, the required market value may be the value on the first income-producing date. Ask your accountant to confirm that the rule applies and provide that exact date in the order.

Can it support an inheritance, gift or below-market acquisition?+

Yes, the report can establish market value for an instructed date where a tax rule substitutes market value for the amount paid. The applicable date and treatment vary, so obtain advice before choosing the valuation instruction.

Does the report include renovation and ownership costs?+

The report values the property at the instructed date. It does not replace your records of stamp duty, legal fees, capital improvements, selling costs or other cost base elements. Give those records to your accountant for the full calculation.

Can pre-CGT property be valued for the new arrangements?+

A valuation can evidence market value at the relevant transition date where the new rules bring later gains into the CGT calculation. The treatment of a specific pre-1985 asset can be complex, so confirm the instruction and eligibility with your tax adviser.

Can the report help apportion cost base after a subdivision?+

A valuation can support a market-based allocation between lots or interests when that is the agreed scope. Tell us about the subdivision, relevant dates and titles so the valuer can confirm whether a standard report or a tailored instruction is required.

What makes the valuation evidence defensible?+

The report identifies the asset and valuation date, explains the basis and methodology, analyses relevant comparable sales and records the valuer's signed conclusion. It supports the market value input but does not guarantee a particular ATO outcome.

What information should I send with the order?+

Provide the exact valuation date and reason, ownership details and any plans, leases, photos or renovation records relevant to the property's condition at that time. Your accountant's written instruction is especially helpful for unusual cost base events.
