CGT

It is crucial for business owners and investors to consider the implications of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when undertaking a transaction that involves a capital asset.
Clarity in CGT

When you sell a capital asset, such as shares or real estate, you must consider the tax implications of making a capital gain or a capital loss in the transaction.

The Capital Gains Tax (CGT) regime has been part of the Australian taxation system since 1985, but it remains a regime that has been grafted onto a system which taxes income. As such, for business owners and investors alike, CGT raises a host of important tax issues, ranging from the threshold issue of whether an event is of a capital nature, rather than revenue, through to consideration of the various concessions or exemptions that may apply. 

Simple solutions for CGT

Our experienced tax team can assist with: 

  • CGT planning 
  • Evaluating revenue or capital distinction for a gain or loss
  • Assessing eligibility for potential CGT rollovers 
  • Determining potential access to CGT concessions or exemptions 
  • Calculating the CGT amount of a relevant transaction 
  • CGT in connection with deceased estates 
  • Tax audits and disputes, including liaison with tax authorities
