RE: Deductible Items from calculating the capital gain
I'm submitted a Capital Gains after the sale of a 2nd home and I'm trying to find out whether I can add the additional 3% stamp duty I paid at the time of buying a second property? I understand I can claim the stamp duty paid at the time of purchase, however at that time it was my only home, I then was fortunate enough to buy a second home to live in and keep and rent out my original property. However when I bought this new family home I had to pay an increased stamp duty, I think it was 3% more. Can I claim this additional Stamp Duty charge now that I have sold the original property and only have a single property remaining?
