How do you complete a CGT event in the tax return, for the sale of pre-cgt asset due to SRO data matching with ATO? Thanks.
Hi @Rachel8431
You'll need to report any capital gains you have for the year, and then answer these questions:
Have you applied an exemption, rollover or additional discount? For this one, you'll say Yes.
You'll then need to enter the Capital gains tax exemption, rollover or additional discount type code. For a pre-CGT asset, that's J: Capital gains disregarded as a result of the sale of a pre-CGT asset.
