Even if you manage that, get ready for the CGT bill.
Wy So Lo said:HA and here i thought it was going to be a breeze. What was the CGT again? I may have to work out a way to avoid it lawfully.
southerncross said:What if you are unemployed and not collecting a Gov't payment or any sort of income ? If CGT is based upon your nominal tax rate and you don't actually have one at the time you held the asset, then what is your liability for CGT on that asset ?

It's not based on your nominal tax rate , the capital gain is just added to your income and taxed at whatever your top tax rate happens to be
Ways to reduce cgt are hold the asset more than 12 months or take a capital loss on another stock in the same financial year to offset
Also any past capital losses carried forward can be applied to gains
Of course if your plan is to only make profits with quick trades you will be paying cgt at your top tax rate

So looking ok again. AZS being the only one still in the dumps Exu has not regained its prior high but is still the flagship.
