Navigating transactions involving pre-CGT assets

However, there are two key provisions (Div 149 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) and CGT event K6) which, via their application, could result in a tax liability arising to the taxpayer. Given the complexity of these
provisions and the potential for transactions to escape the tax net, transactions involving pre-CGT assets remain a key focus area of the ATO. Taxpayers who are better prepared for transactions are far more likely to be able to proceed with confidence.
