About This Course

When determining if a land sale is taxable, it is important to understand not only all of the land taxing provisions but also the exemptions that may apply.

With the introduction of the bright-line test, land sales are being captured by the land taxing rules more often. However, the bright-line rule only applies if the other land taxation provisions do not. That includes situations where the other land tax provisions could apply but there is an exemption available.

As the exemptions apply differently depending on the circumstances, it is important to understand the exemptions that apply to all the land tax provisions and their application, including bright-line.

This course will work through the exemptions using examples to demonstrate how the rules work. It will be pitched at a tax technical level to understand the rules but will be practical based to assist in understanding how the rules can apply.

Suited to: 

If you own property or advise clients in the area of land sales, you should attend this course.
