    My understanding is that yes you can but you should keep a record of how those subscriptions have assisted you with the acquisition of the investment assets. If you’ve got a subscription from Motely Fool (as an example), but did not acquire any shares, then i dont think you can. On the contrary, if you do, then it seems to be likely base on my understanding of the ATO ruling below.
