Ann: Agate Creek Gold Production Update, page-70

It's been reiterated a couple of times now and you're still not picking it up but I'll try again (mind you I'm not making this argument as I didn't speak to anyone). The posters above are saying to pay a tax BILL, not for tax purposes, very different motivations and timing. A tax bill can be payable at any time and it's urgent, ATO can only be held off for so long.

I once had a tax bill of ~$30k from a nice capital gain and paid it early in the calendar year because it made sense to hold on to the money for as long as I could. Tax time selling is done at tax time, bill paying is done when you can get away with it
