Can someone assist please, can't seem to set a straight answer from tax office.
If I sold shares and had a profit of say $100K on shares held for more than 12 months I should have to pay tax on $50k,
But f I had also sold other shares at a loss of say $25K in the same year does the $25k get deducted from the $50k so I only pay tax on $25k or is it only taken off the $100k and you lose the effective gain of the 50% discount.
The example the tax dept shows is not really explaining it.
Cheers

talk to your accountant but my understanding is the losses needs to be deducted from the gross gain before you reduce the gain by 50%.
