Starting 1 July 2024, significant changes are coming to the bright-line property rule. Here's what you need to know:
🗓️ Key Date to Remember:
✔ From 1 July 2024, the bright-line property rule applies only if you sell a property within 2 years of purchasing it.
📅 Selling Before 1 July 2024:
The current bright-line periods still apply:
➖ Properties bought between 29 March 2018 and 26 March 2021: Bright-line period is 5 years.
➖ Properties bought on or after 27 March 2021: Bright-line period is 5 years for qualifying new builds and 10 years for other residential properties.
🏡 Selling Your Main Home:
The bright-line property rule generally does not apply if you sell your main home. This remains unchanged, but the criteria are specific:
➖ More than 50% of the property's area must be used as your main home.
➖ The property must be used as your main home for more than 50% of the time you owned it.
➖ If you build on the land, the construction period does not count towards determining your usage for the main home exclusion.
🔄 New Rollover Relief Rules for Associated Persons:
✔ The rollover relief rules are extended to cover transactions between associated persons:
✔ Includes associated companies, relatives (within 2 degrees of relationship), trusts and their beneficiaries, partners and partnerships, and look-through companies and their owners.
✔ Both the transferor and transferee must be associated for 2 years before the transfer.
✔ Rollover relief can be claimed once in any 2-year period.
For specific accounting or taxation advice, please contact your accountant.

We understand the significance of choosing the perfect mattress size and type to ensure you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated every morning.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the factors to consider when selecting your mattress, from the kind of bed that suits your sleep style to the ideal firmness and size for your needs.
The Crucial Role of Choosing the Right Mattress for a Good Night's Rest
The foundation of restful sleep begins with your bedtime routine and, critically, with selecting the right kind of mattress.
The comfort and support provided by your mattress play a pivotal role in determining the quality of sleep you enjoy.
The significance of your sleeping position intertwines with the necessity of choosing an appropriate mattress. It's more than a matter of preference; it directly influences your sleep quality and overall well-being.
Understanding how your mattress complements your sleeping posture is key to achieving a more restful and rejuvenating night's sleep.
Spinal Alignment
The impact of your mattress on spinal alignment cannot be overstated. A mattress that properly supports your body will maintain the natural curvature of your spine, reducing pressure points and alleviating discomfort.
Tip: For back sleepers, a mattress that offers medium-firm support can help maintain the natural curve of the lower back. Side sleepers might look for a mattress that provides a softer surface to contour to the hips and shoulders, keeping the spine aligned.
Respiratory Health
Your mattress can also affect your respiratory health, particularly if it exacerbates or mitigates conditions like snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. The right mattress can support sleeping positions that promote open airways.
Tip: Side sleepers, who may experience fewer breathing difficulties, should choose a mattress that allows for easy movement and doesn’t lock them into one position.
Circulation
A mattress that restricts blood flow can lead to discomfort, numbness, or even pressure ulcers. It's vital to select a mattress that facilitates good circulation, complementing your body's needs.
Tip: A mattress that is too firm might impede circulation for side sleepers, while one that is too soft may cause back sleepers to sink too deeply, affecting blood flow.
Comfort and Support
Ultimately, the goal is to find a mattress that provides both comfort and support tailored to your preferred sleeping position. This ensures not only a restful night's sleep but also contributes to your overall health and well-being.
Tip: Invest time in testing mattresses to find one that matches your body's contours and supports your sleeping style.
Whether you prefer a plush, firm, or medium-firm mattress, the right choice can dramatically improve your sleep quality.
What Size Of Mattress Is Best For Sleep?
Selecting the right mattress size is essential for maximizing comfort and ensuring ample space for restful sleep.
For solo sleepers or children, a single or twin mattress provides ample space for a comfortable night's sleep.
Couples may opt for a larger size, such as a queen or king mattress, to ensure ample room for rest without compromising individual space and comfort.
Consider your bedroom's dimensions and personal preferences when choosing the perfect mattress size.

There are a range of circumstances which might require respite overnight or support for day care.
It could be needed after a hospital stay or just as a little extra support for caregivers. Respite care ranges from a few days and even up to a few weeks. A loved one, who lives in their own home, will have their short respite stay in one of our village centres.
