Understanding Capital Gains Tax in Australia

CGT is Part of Income Tax

In Australia, CGT isn't a separate tax. Your net capital gain is added to your assessable income for the year, and this total amount is taxed at your marginal income tax rates.

The CGT Discount

If you are an Australian resident and hold an asset for more than 12 months, you can generally reduce your capital gain by 50%. This calculator applies this discount automatically if you select the appropriate holding period.
