For more information please refer to the document Guide to Capital Gains Tax which can be found at www.ato.gov.au Change in Legal Ownership When the legal ownership of an asset (or account) changes without necessarily changing the beneficial owner.

NCBO No Change in Beneficial Ownership. When assets are transferred from one account to another (either internally or externally) without any change to the beneficial owner. Examples: 1.

Open parcel history A record of each purchase transaction in a security that has been adjusted for both sales and corporate actions. It must list the original acquisition date, quantity and the adjusted tax cost (and/or reduced cost base where relevant) and be presented in a simple and straightforward format. Note: We assume that all parcel history information has been adjusted for distributions of non-assessable amounts (e.g. tax deferred, tax free and return of capital components). All cost bases should be adjusted for any corporate actions relating to the assets. We are unable to perform any reconstructions on behalf of the client. Where a reduced cost base is transferred in, we assume tax free components have been deducted from the acquisition cost. Stamp Duty (Can also be referred to as Transfer Duty or Marketable Security Duty). A State and Territory imposed tax on a range of transactions. The amount of Stamp Duty or whether it applies varies from State to State. Duty may be payable at flat nominal rates or ad valorem rates based on the value of the interest transferred.
