CG65046 - Private residence relief: periods of absence: conditions

S223(7B) TCGA92 defines a period of absence as a period during which the dwelling-house was not occupied by the individual as a residence.

There are two further conditions both of which must be fulfilled before a period of absence, defined at CG65030, can qualify for relief by virtue of s223(3) TCGA92. These are set out at s223(3A) & (3B).

Condition A

Before the period of absence there must be a time during which the dwelling-house was the individual바카라 사이트™s only or main residence.

Condition B

  1. After the period of absence there must be a time during which the dwelling-house is the individual바카라 사이트™s only or main residence (if within s223 (3)(a), (b), (c) or (d) TCGA92), or
  2. The individual was prevented from returning to the dwelling-house as a consequence of the individual바카라 사이트™s place of work requiring them to reside elsewhere, or an employment condition reasonably imposed to secure the effective performance of the employee (if within s223(3)(b), (c) or (d) TCGA92), or
  3. The individual lived with a spouse or civil partner to whom (b) above applied (if within s223(3)(b), (c) or (d) TCGA92).
