Afternoon,


I am seeking clarification on the process of transferring ownership of gold and silver holdings from one individual to another (divorce settlement). Specifically, I would like to understand:


Whether Capital Gains Tax (CGT) applies to the transfer when the assets are not being sold but have increase in value.


Upon eventual sale of the assets, whether the CGT and discount applies on anything above the original purchase price or if it is calculated differently since the assets were not originally purchased in my name.


Any information or guidance you can provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Might be able to get a rollover or defer [the CGT event on the transfer] and the new owner is the one that is liable for CGT when it is sold. [New owner would calculate it as if they were the one to have acquired the CGT asset]. https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/investments-and-assets/capital-gains-tax/relationship-breakdown-and-capital-gains-tax
