Selling your property in the canton of Vaud: a simple guide to real estate capital gains tax
When you’re planning to sell, knowing the value of your property is naturally an important first step. But it’s also helpful to anticipate the various factors that will allow you to best estimate the net proceeds of the transaction.
Among these is the capital gains tax on real estate. In the Canton of Vaud, this tax is calculated based not only on the difference between the purchase price and the sale price, but also on certain expenses, investments, and the length of time the property has been owned.
Every sale is different and requires tailored preparation.
