The concessions may apply to CGT events happening after 11.45am, by legal time in the Australian Capital Territory, on 21 September 1999 (we hereafter refer to this as 11.45am on 21 September 1999).
When we refer to 'you' or 'your business' in this guide, we are referring to you as a small business, for example, an individual (such as a sole trader), a partner in a partnership, a company or a trust that conducts a small business.
The guide assumes you have a basic understanding of how the CGT system works. It deals with the special CGT concessions available to you as a small business, not with your personal CGT obligations.
