Our Experts Answer:
Provided you did not acquire the property with an intent to onsell it for profit and provided you do actually do the development work to enable yourself to derive additional rental income from the property any eventual capital gain on the property should remain tax free as long as you are not associated to someone who is in the business of building, developing or subdividing. If you are asssociated to someone engaged in these activities you will need to hold the property for 10 years to avoid income tax on any gain on disposal.
