    Also just as a side note the tax payable on the capital gain, If you are NOT a share trader but an investor is calculated as follows:

    1. if you hold the shares for more than 12 months you qualify for the 50% CGT Discount
    • 01 Sep 2021 purchase 100,000 FFX for $60,000
    • 10 OCT 2022 sell 100,000 FFX for $80,000
    • CGT $20,000 less 50% discount = $10,000 taxable CGT
    • tax payable (assuming your income is less than $120k) at 34.5% = $3,450 (instead of $6900)
    • if you sell the shares within 12 months of purchase you do NOT qualify for the 50% CGT Discount

    • The demerger document should say when the purchase date is for the LEO shares ,that is :
    • it it the time of the demerger or the original date of purchase of the FFX shares


    A sharetrader does not get the CGT concessions because they are in the business of share trading
