tax question?, page-17

I would suggest you do not take advice via a share forum but seek professional assistance. I have attached a link to the ATO website which will give you a starting point to answer your question:

My advice would be if you trade or even if you buy and sell shares occassionally then get advice before you start, could save you a lot of tax and complications. I would also get professional advice to answer your specific question before doing anything.

What is a small fee when it could save you plenty in the long run.

Alternatively ring the ATO.
