The government introduced changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount, previously known as the ‘CGT 50% discount’.
Individuals, including beneficiaries of a trust and partners in a partnership, may no longer be entitled to receive the full CGT discount on a capital gain received after 8 May 2012 if they are:
- foreign or temporary residents
- Australian residents with a period of foreign residency.
