AU Australia property term
Capital Works Deduction
Australia-wide
Plain-English definition
An income-tax deduction that may be available over time for eligible construction expenditure on an income-producing building or structural improvement.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
The deduction is based on qualifying construction cost and timing, not the purchase price or market value. Obtain records or a suitable estimate and understand the CGT cost-base effect.
