what do i own now?, page-9

mbt

i'd say there will be an official doc from the ato (there may already be one?) which will define how the deemed cost base and deemed date of acquisition should be calculated for wdc holders who have now been converted to wdcda and wrt holders.

these large deals usually have a specific ruling from the ato because of the type of quandry you've mentioned. i remember telstra had such a doc from the ato for the 4% bonus shares issued to T3 float buyers.

the ato help line for capital gains will be able to advise you ...
