    I believe if you call / classify your self as a trader as of June 30 the stocks are valued at that date .
    Sold or not .
    Losses for the tax year are offset against the gains and any profit you pay tax on at your marginal rate .
    The following year the cost base is at June 30 irrespective of what you originally paid .
    No Capital Gains concessions apply to defined traders .

    If you are not a trader then holding any asset eg shares for more than 12 months allows you a 50% discount on the gain

    ( not financial advice just my understanding)
