Election to disapply

The main reason for wanting to disapply the election is to avoid having to pay any capital gains tax on the sale of the property. If the property is sold within two years of the date of the election, any gain made on the sale would be subject to capital gains tax. However, if the property is held for longer than two years, any gain made on the sale would be exempt from capital gains tax. Another reason for wanting to disapply the election is to avoid having to pay stamp duty land tax on the purchase of the property. If the property is purchased within two years of the date of the election, the purchaser would be liable for stamp duty land tax on the purchase price.
