All Topics / Help Needed! / FHOG and tax benefits
Hi,
Im looking at buying a property as a PPOR for which I will be eligible for the first home owners grant. However, the property is split level with the top level already rented out which I will want to keep that way. Will I still be able to get the FHOG and be entitled to the tax benefits associated with the income producing top level?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
BenGet some proper advice. You may lose the CGT exemption if you rent out part of your place. You probably could still get the grant though.

Licensee Brett ChristieWhat do you think are the most significant differences between states Josh? Esp the differences that might affect this example.
I see it all based upon the same legislation.

Not directly related to this question but has to do with the FHOG. Are there any occasions where you can receive 2 x grants for one property (in NSW that would amount to $14000) if the property was listed under 2 owners ? I didnt think so but a friend of mine was adamant that this was possible.
Anyone?

I beleive it is only available jointly, ie shares by the two owners.

Terry is right – no way to double dip on the same property.
If the property is in two titles and you buy one each and you are not defacto or married then it is treated as two seperate transactions – ie you buy each side of a duplex say.
