Australia Considers Replacing 50% CGT Discount With Inflation Indexation on May 12

GateNews

According to BlockBeats, on May 12, Australia is considering reforming its capital gains tax (CGT) system by replacing the current 50% discount for long-held assets with inflation indexation, affecting crypto assets, stocks, and other investments.

Under the current system, individuals pay tax on only 50% of capital gains after holding assets for over one year. The proposed reform would adjust the cost basis for inflation before calculating gains. In periods of rapid asset price appreciation, investors’ actual tax liability may increase, particularly for crypto investors where the time-based holding advantage would be diminished.
