Divorce & The Family Home - Tax Opportunities & Traps for Family Lawyers

Introduction

In most divorces the family home is the most valuable asset in any settlement. The position of the family is often complicated by the need for the party which has custody of the children to maintain occupation of the property until the children have reached 18 or left higher education.

The family home as the main residence has both tax opportunities and tax traps.

This virtual classroom seminar will consider capital gains tax computations, deferral of sale issues and also how recent tax proposals could affect the family home in future.
