Calculating Cost Base for Australian Capital Gains Tax Purposes
For Australian Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes, each Infigen Energy stapled security is considered to comprise three separate CGT assets being a share in IEL, a share in IEBL and a unit in IET. If you dispose of any part of your investment in Infigen Energy, you will need to do a separate CGT calculation for each of your respective investments in IEL, IEBL and IET.
This means that technically you will need to apportion your acquisition cost and your sales proceeds between the shares in IEL , the shares in IEBL and the units in IET. However, in most cases the aggregate of the three separate calculations will produce the same net result as if the disposal were treated as the disposal of a single asset.
The apportionments must be done on a reasonable basis. The following information is provided to assist you in performing the apportionments.
