Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax levied on the profits made from the sale or disposal of assets, such as property, shares, and businesses. When a capital asset is sold at a higher price than its original purchase price, the resulting gain is subject to CGT. The tax is calculated on the capital gain, not the total sale price and it is applicable to both individuals and businesses.

Why is Capital Gains Tax (CGT) necessary?
Capital Gains Tax (CGT):
Capital Gains Tax plays a crucial role in the Australian taxation system for several reasons.
Revenue Generation:
CGT serves as a significant source of revenue for the government, contributing to essential services and infrastructure development.
Equity and Fairness:
CGT ensures that individuals and businesses pay tax on the profits derived from the sale of assets, promoting fairness and equity in the tax system.
Encouraging Investment:
CGT rules provide certain concessions and exemptions that encourage investment in assets, such as the 50% discount for individuals who hold assets for more than 12 months.
Maintaining Economic Stability:
CGT helps maintain economic stability by discouraging speculative investment and promoting long-term investment strategies.
