ATO does not require FIFO or LIFO for basic CGT purposes

=========================


ATO does require LIFO for franking credits:

For the purpose of the holding period rule, if a shareholder purchases substantially identical shares in a company over a period of time, the holding period rule uses the 'last in first out' method to identify which shares will pass the holding period rule.
