sorry for the repeat reply, but what I'm saying is first work out the difference in tax savings with and without capital gains tax benefits then evaluate if it's worth waiting 12 months. my previous calculation based on assumption of $70,000 income and $100,000 investment profit, the difference in tax comparing cgt Vs 50% discount after 12months is $19,500. is that amount worth losing sleep over? IE. if you wait 12months knowing there's possible news of a bearish market.
