Preamble

Draft Taxation Determinations (TDs) represent the preliminary, though considered, views of the ATO. Draft TDs may not be relied on; only final TDs are authoritative statements of the ATO.

1. Unrecouped net capital losses lapse on death.

2. These losses cannot be:-

(a)
offset against other income in the final individual income tax return of the deceased;
(b)
carried forward into the first income tax return of the trust estate to be offset against future capital gains made by the trust estate; or
(c)
distributed to the beneficiaries of the deceased estate.

Commissioner of Taxation
