Gary bought a cottage in 1977 for $45,000. When he died in 2001, the cottage was worth $250,000. In his will, he left the cottage in a trust to his daughter Beth, with the provision that she could receive full title after 10 years.

After 10 years, the cottage was worth $390,000. Barb held onto the cottage for 11 years and then sold it for $470,000.

If the cottage is not her principal residence, what is her taxable capital gain in the year she sells it?

    Answer: $52,500

    Explanation: property worth when Beth recieved it $250,000

    After 10years the property was worth $390,000 (when she could receive full title)

    Beth held own for 11years before selling it off at $470,000

    Cost inflation index = index for financial year 2010-11 / index for financial year 2001-02

    CII = 167/100 = 1.67

    Index cost of purchase = CII * purchase price

    1.67 * $250,000

    = $417,500

    Capital gain = selling price - index cost

    = $470,000 - $417,000

    = $52500
