FMV 2001 Property Value Calculator (Capital Gains)
FMV 2001 Property Value Calculator
When calculating capital gains tax on property, the purchase price of the property is extremely important.
However, if a property was purchased before 1 April 2001, the Income Tax Act allows taxpayers to use the Fair Market Value (FMV) as on 1 April 2001 instead of the original purchase price.
Using FMV can significantly reduce taxable capital gains because it increases the cost of acquisition before applying indexation.
Determining the correct FMV can sometimes be complicated. This calculator helps property owners estimate the approximate property value as on 1 April 2001 based on current value and expected appreciation rate.
⚠️ Please note that this calculator provides an estimated value only. For tax filing and legal purposes, professional advice may be required.
