Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated ActsThe amount of a * capital gain remaining after applying step 3 of the method statement in subsection 102 - 5(1) is reduced by 50%, if the basic conditions in Subdivision 152 - A are satisfied for the gain.
Example: For an individual (other than one who opts to claim indexation instead of the discount), the discount percentage that applies under step 3 of the method statement is 50%. Therefore, the combined effect of the discount percentage and this section would be to reduce the original capital gain by a total of 75%.
For an individual who opts to claim indexation, or a company, there is no discount percentage, so the individual or company would simply get the 50% reduction under this section.
