Modifications to general rules  

SECTION 116-40   Apportionment rule: modification 2  

116-40(1)    
If you receive a payment in connection with a transaction that relates to more than one *CGT event, the capital proceeds from each event are so much of the payment as is reasonably attributable to that event.

Example:

You sell a block of land and a boat for a total of $100,000. This transaction involves 2 CGT events.

The $100,000 must be divided among the 2 events. The capital proceeds from the disposal of the land are so much of the $100,000 as is reasonably attributable to it. The rest relates to the boat.


116-40(2)    
If you receive a payment in connection with a transaction that relates to one *CGT event and something else, the capital proceeds from the event are so much of the payment as is reasonably attributable to the event.

Example:

You are an architect. You receive $70,000 for selling a block of land and giving advice to the new owner. This transaction involves one CGT event: the disposal of the land.

The capital proceeds from the disposal of the land is so much of the $70,000 as is reasonably attributable to that disposal.


116-40(3)    
The payment can include giving property: see section 103-5 .
