    CGT

    In Australia as far as I know if the property was your prime place of residence for more than a year or maybe 2 years Im not sure on the time, you will not pay CGT on the sale if the above is true at time of sale.
    If it is an investment property you will pay CGT.
    If you put the property into a trust account and then sell it the Trust will pay CGT, which is why my accountant told me not to put my personal house into the trust.
    If you are left a property in a will you have two years to sell it and you will not pay CGT or any other tax. There is a small fee when swapping the property into your name from the deceased name.

    That's as far as I can remember having bought and sold a few properties.
