Capital gains tax (CGT) schedule

Last updated 28 March 2021

A Capital gains tax (CGT) schedule 2018 must be lodged with the AMIT's tax return if the AMIT’s total current year:

  • capital gains are greater than $10,000, or
  • capital losses are greater than $10,000.

CGT schedule for separate AMIT classes

Multi-class AMITs electing for classes to be treated as separate AMITs must lodge a separate CGT schedule for each class of interest that has total capital gains or losses that exceed the threshold amounts. Do not lodge a CGT schedule for the multi-class AMIT as a whole, even if in aggregate the total capital gains or losses of the AMIT meet the thresholds.

The CGT schedule has new fields to allow AMITs to separately identify the class to which the CGT schedule relates, and capture certain class-related CGT information. These new fields are described below.

Name of AMIT class

Enter the unique name and number for the separate AMIT class. This must match the name that you used on the AMIT tax schedule for that class. This ensures that each class can be easily identified.

We recommend that the name and number of an AMIT class remain consistent in subsequent years, and that you avoid reusing the name if the class ceases.

Start of example

Example

An AMIT has an Australian equities class and a foreign equities class which it elects to treat as separate AMITs. A separate schedule is prepared for each, showing the names of the AMIT classes as:

  1. Australian equities class
  2. Foreign equities class
End of example
