Frequently asked questions
- How does the CGT calculator work?
- When you record a sale, TrackMyShares matches it against your purchase parcels using your chosen method (FIFO or specific parcel). It calculates the gain or loss and applies the 50% discount if the holding period exceeds 12 months.
- Does it handle the 50% CGT discount?
- Yes. For assets held longer than 12 months, the 50% CGT discount is automatically applied to your capital gains, reducing your taxable amount.
- Can I use this for crypto capital gains?
- Yes. Crypto assets are treated the same as shares for CGT purposes in Australia. TrackMyShares calculates gains and losses on crypto sales using the same ATO-compliant methods.
- What CGT methods are supported?
- TrackMyShares supports FIFO (first in, first out) and specific parcel identification. You can choose the method that works best for your tax situation.
- Can I share the report with my accountant?
- Yes. You can export your capital gains report as a summary that your accountant can use to prepare your tax return.
