Overview
The CGT Register page assists users in determining which CGT transactions in the general ledger relate to which investment parcels. This page is designed to provide insight into which CGT transactions are causing locking issues in the ledger and will inform users of which transactions are to be removed to allow re-processing of CGT events.

Report Contents
Each purchase parcel of an investment is given a "Cost Base Link" number which is then used for any additional CGT events that have an affect on that purchase parcel. This will assist you in tracking which CGT events are locking the original purchase and subsequent CGT events.
In our example above, the purchase of BHP shares on 01/07/2012 is given the Cost Base Link "B1". Any subsequent CGT events relevant to that parcel are listed sequentially below, such as disposals, demergers and share splits. Each CGT event trail for each parcel of an investment is separated to allow you to decipher each parcel's trail.

FAQ
How are the Adjusted Cost Base and Reduced Cost Base amounts calculated in the CGT Register?
The calculations for these two cost base amounts are as follows:
- Adjusted cost base* = original cost base - tax deferred adjustments (if available)
*where the asset is in a capital gain position. - Reduced cost base = Adjusted cost base - tax-free adjustments (if available)
Please note that tax-free amounts will only reduce from the adjusted cost base of an asset when the asset is in a Capital Loss position. This tax-free amount would be disregarded in a Capital Gain position.
