Continuing the discussion from Capital gain:
Questions about home turned into duplex and sold one:-

Mr. A owns a home (or a piece of land & a junk house) valued $1,700,000.-, he bought it at $700,000.- in 2010. He decided to turn it into a duplex( unit 1 & unit 2 )in 2022 with a cost of $900,000.-
Mr. A will use unit 1 as his home and will sell unit 2 after one year.
What is the tax implication when selling unit 2? ACB?Capital gain ? or this is an income?

Turning it into a duplex is the easy part. Turning it into a separate POTL or separating the lot with a new roll number is the difficult (expensive) part.
