We have previously posted about Principal Private Residence (PPR) relief<\/a>, which can result in an individual\u2019s main home not being subject to capital gains tax upon disposal.<\/p>\n

Many people purchase a property but delay moving in to undertake extensive renovation works.\u00a0 As this is not an uncommon scenario there is a concession whereby, provided the period the property is unoccupied does not exceed 12 months from the purchase and they do then subsequently occupy the property as their main residence the period of inoccupation will qualify for PPR relief.<\/p>\n

However, this becomes more complex if the delay of occupation will exceed 12 months.\u00a0 HMRC guidance provides that where there are \u201cgood reasons\u201d for the period exceeding 12 months, which were outside the individual\u2019s control, the period treated as occupation may be extended to 24 months. What constitutes a good reason is at the discretion of the HMRC inspector and will depend on the specific facts, however it would not extend to an individual\u2019s lack of funds.<\/p>\n

As an example, an individual owned a property for 10 years, but did not live in it for the first two years due to renovation works and HMRC denied the extension to 24 months.\u00a0 Therefore as the property was not occupied as a main residence within the permitted period (which in this example is 12 months as an extension was denied) then upon a future sale 20% of the capital gain would be taxed at 28% and 80% would be exempt as PPR relief is available for the eight years of actual occupation.<\/p>\n
