    Land as a capital asset

    Vacant land that is a capital asset is subject to the same capital gains tax rules as other properties. When you sell it, you'll need to work out your capital gain or capital loss and pay tax on any capital gain.

    Keep records of the date and cost of obtaining the land, and your ongoing expenses, such as council rates and loan interest. These expenses can be added to the capital cost of the land for the purposes of working out your capital gain or capital loss when you sell it.
