The unfortunate fact is that when you sign the declaration you are solely responsible for your tax affairs despite receiving professional advice.
Your financial planner is an idiot and I would avoid utilizing their services anymore.
When you acquire and when you dispose of an asset there is the potential for a CGT event.
In this instance you disposed of your shares which are eligible for CGT and therefore must be declared.
The acquisition of your new shares is the beginning of a new timeline and not related to the previously held asset.
Look for publication NAT 4152
