    Hi all :)

    i have a couple of questions in regards to CGT for anyone more knowledgeable on the subject. Obviously i will be going to my accountant soon but just wanted to have any relevant paperwork i needed.

    I sold a vacant block of land last financial year at a higher price than purchased around 9 years ago so obviously will attract CGT. Couple of questions.....

    # I had a bank loan for the land and paid a fair amount of interest over the years, is the interest paid used to offset capital gain?

    # Are any capital losses due to shares sold able to offset capital gain on the land? (i have losses brought forward over the years from share invesments)

    # Are the council rates/water charges i paid over the years used to offset capital gain?

    Cheers for any reply. Obviously my accountant will instruct me on all of the above, just trying to go in with a little heads up :)
