    Here is the place to go to be sure:
    https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/investments-and-assets/capital-gains-tax

    My calc on your example is:
    ST GC 15k
    apply CLoss of 15k
    for zero net ST (residual CLoss 85k)
    then
    LT CG 250k
    minus Closs -85k
    net LT CG is 165k
    halved LTCG becomes 82.5k (to be taxable)

    Check it - if I am wrong please reply here - if I am correct, please send money!cool.png
    PS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE (just to be very clear in case a pedantic litigious lawyer who does not understand humour reads the previous line)
