LAND TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 2002 - SECT 27

27 .         Moving between 2 private residences, application of exemption

        (1)         Private residential property ( property A ) is exempt for an assessment year if —

            (a)         at midnight on 30 June in the previous financial year, the owner owned property A and another private residential property ( property B ); and

            (b)         property B is exempt for the assessment year because of its use by an individual at midnight on 30 June in the previous financial year as the individual’s primary residence; and

            (c)         property A would have been exempt for the assessment year if, at midnight on 30 June in the previous financial year, the individual had used property A as the individual’s private residence instead of property B; and

            (d)         the property the owner acquired second was acquired in the previous financial year; and

            (e)         the individual used property A as the individual’s primary residence —

                  (i)         in the previous financial year before using property B for that purpose; or

                  (ii)         in the assessment year after using property B for that purpose;

                and

            (f)         during the assessment year, the owner —

                  (i)         sold or otherwise disposed of the property the owner acquired first; and

                  (ii)         delivered possession of that property to the new owner.

        (2)         However, property A is not exempt if, while the owner owned both properties, the owner or any other person derived income from the property that was not being used as the individual’s primary residence.

        (3)         The owner must notify the Commissioner in the approved form of when the disposal and delivery of possession of the property acquired first occurs.

        (4)         The Commissioner is to make any reassessment necessary to give effect to this section.
