(Losses with indexed gains)
Brad Emerson, a resident taxpayer, sold the following CGT assets during the 2017/18 tax year:
ASSET | COST BASE | ACQUISITION DATE | DISPOSAL DATE | SALE PRICE |
Shares - AAA | $48,000 | 19 Jan 87 | 20 Feb 18 | $71,000 |
Shares - BBB | $62,000 | 30 May 06 | 17 Apr 18 | $77,000 |
Shares - CCC | $49,000 | 8 Jun 10 | 24 Mar 18 | $35,000 |
Required:
Calculate the minimum net capital gain for the 2017/18 tax year. Use a combination of the indexed and discount methods, where allowed. (Show your workings).
My issue with the previous solution is: (In light of Australian Tax Law)
1. As per the Frozen Indexation Method, indexation is only allowed for AAA shares, in previous solution, both BBB and CCC have been indexed, (Am I missing something?)
2. The index factor for "Quarter when expense was incurred" is January 1987 so the B = 45.3, however in solution index factor is 49.3? why is that?
