    My understanding is brokerage on the purchase of shares forms part of the cost base. I'm not a trader but just a novice.

    From a tax point of view, it would advantageous for me to claim brokerage now instead of waiting till I sell the share.

    Does anyone know if this is allowable under current ATO rules?
