*Capital gains: indexation
Indexation is only relevant in working out the cost base of an asset acquired before 21 September 1999. If the indexation method (rather than the discount method) is used to work out a capital gain from such an asset, some of the cost base expenditure of the asset may be indexed to account for inflation up to the September 1999 quarter. Changes to the law mean that indexation is frozen at that time.
