Hi we have just sold our second property, this was our former home which we lived in before we bought our current home. When we purchased our current home in 2017 we had to pay an additional amount of stamp duty due to it being a second home. My question is can we claim this additional stamp duty as a cost when calculating CGT on the sale of the second property, it is after all an expense incurred as a result of owning this home.
