capital gains question, page-4

chucky,
you only have to pay cgt on the parcel that you have sold. so if you have 100000 shares at $1 each and they go to $1.50 ie 50% gain and then you sold $100000 worth ie 66666 shares. your cost base would be $66666 not including brokerage. so $100000 gross - $66666 cost base= $33334 profit would go on to your income and be taxed at your rate. hold for more than 12 months and you get a 50% discount. You can not defer any gains made only losses for the following years. THIS DOES NOT TAKE IN TO ACCOUNT BROKERAGE OR HOLDING COSTS
hope this helps
