CGT on Leaving Australia and Deemed Disposal

AIMS Australia Tax Accountants assists clients who cease Australian tax residency and need to review capital gains tax consequences, including deemed disposal, CGT event I1, taxable Australian property, non-taxable Australian property and asset records.

The decision to make or not make any relevant CGT choice should be considered carefully because it may affect the Australian tax treatment of a later disposal.

Submit an enquiry

Provide a concise summary of your situation through the Initial Tax Enquiry Form. Do not include TFNs, passport numbers, bank account details or other highly sensitive identifiers.

Compliance note.

CGT consequences may arise even where no asset has been sold. The treatment depends on the date Australian tax residency ceased, asset type, market value evidence, whether the asset is taxable Australian property and whether any relevant choice is made.
