How It Works

How this is calculated

  1. 1

    Capital gain = sale proceeds less the cost base (purchase price plus eligible costs such as stamp duty, legal fees and capital improvements, and selling costs).

  2. 2

    Capital losses are deducted first, then the 50% discount applies if the asset was held for at least 12 months.

  3. 3

    The net capital gain is added to your other taxable income to estimate the extra tax, including Medicare.
