Step 4 - How to complete the CGT schedule

Last updated 20 April 2020

Your entity must complete a CGT schedule for the 2005-06 income year if:

  • the total current year capital gains are greater than $10,000, or
  • the total current year capital losses are greater than $10,000.

Consolidated groups

If a group consolidates during the income year, the head company must lodge a CGT schedule if the total capital gains or total capital losses that it makes - as head company of the consolidated group and while not a member of a consolidated group - are greater than $10,000.

An entity that has joined a consolidated group or groups during the year of income as a subsidiary member must lodge a CGT schedule covering any periods of non-membership if the entity satisfies the requirements for lodgment of that schedule.

If your entity is required to complete a CGT schedule, attach it to your entity's 2006 tax return. You should lodge only one CGT schedule with your entity's tax return.

If you are lodging a paper tax return and CGT schedule, please use the preprinted Capital gains tax (CGT) schedule 2006. To get extra copies of the preprinted schedule, phone our Publications Distribution Service on 1300 720 092.

You need to follow these instructions carefully to make sure you complete your entity's CGT schedule correctly. You must complete all relevant parts of the CGT schedule, including parts J to N.

Print your entity's TFN, name and Australian business number in the boxes provided. The CGT schedule must be signed in the same way that the 2006 tax return is signed.

Take the following steps to transfer the relevant information from your CGT summary worksheet.

Part A

  1. Transfer the amounts from A to I and from M to U on your CGT summary worksheet to the corresponding labels in part A of the CGT schedule.
  2. Transfer the amounts at J, K and L on your CGT summary worksheet (after step A2.2) to the corresponding labels in part A of the CGT schedule.

Part B

Transfer the amounts at A, B, C and D on your CGT summary worksheet to the corresponding labels in part B of the CGT schedule.

Part C

There is no part C in the CGT schedule.

Part D

  1. Add the amounts at columns 3A and 3D and transfer the total to E in part D of the CGT schedule.
  2. Add the amounts at columns 3B and 3E and transfer the total to F in part D of the CGT schedule.
  3. Add the amounts at columns 3C and 3F and transfer the total to G in part D of the CGT schedule.

Part G

Transfer the amounts at rows L to N, O to Q and R to T of the CGT summary worksheet to the corresponding labels in part G of the CGT schedule.

Print in the box at K the code from the list below that best describes the CGT asset or CGT event from which your entity made the capital gain. If your entity made capital gains from more than one CGT asset or CGT event, select the code which best describes the type of CGT asset or CGT event that produced the largest amount of capital gain.

CGT asset or CGT event code

S

shares

U

units in unit trusts

R

real estate

G

goodwill

O

other CGT assets or CGT events not listed above

Part K

During the income year, did your entity choose scrip-for-scrip rollover when an arrangement was made to exchange original interests for replacement interests?

Original interests are shares or units or other interests (or an option, right or similar interest in a company or trust), while replacement interests are similar interests in another company or trust.

Print Y for yes or N for no at A.

If you printed Y for yes:

Write at B the amount of the cost base for all of the original interests exchanged (regardless of whether or not full rollover was available).

Write at C the total of the market value of the replacement interests acquired.

Write at D the total of the amount of cash and other considerations received. Do not include any amount already included at C.

Part L (for companies and trusts only)

Was the company or trust an 'acquiring entity' during the income year under an arrangement for which original interest holders qualified for scrip-for-scrip rollover?

Print Y for yes or N for no at E.

If you printed Y for yes, provide the information requested below for the arrangement. If interests were acquired in more than one original entity, write at F the number of original entities subject to such arrangements and provide the information requested below for the arrangement involving the greatest cost base for the interests acquired.

Show at G the TFN for the original entity.

Show at H the number of shares, units or other interests issued in exchange for the shares or units or other interests acquired in the original entity.

Show at I the number of options, rights or similar interests issued in exchange for the options, rights or similar interests acquired in the other entity.

Show at J the amount of other considerations (including cash) given to acquire the shares, units or other interests, options, rights or similar interests in the original entity.

Show at K the total of the first element of the cost bases of the shares, units or other interests, options, rights or similar interests acquired in the original entity as a result of the arrangement.

Did the company that issued replacement interests or the trustee of the trust, jointly with a significant or common stakeholder, choose to receive a rollover?

Print Y for yes or N for no at L.

If the answer at L is yes, show at M the total of the first element of the cost bases of the shares, or units or other interests, or options, rights or similar interests in the original entity (original interests) acquired directly from significant and common stakeholders for the arrangement, or issued by the original entity to the company or trust and attributable to original interests of significant and common stakeholders that were cancelled under the arrangement.

Part M (for companies only)

Did the company have an employee share scheme in place at any time during the year?

Print Y for yes or N for no at N.

Part N (for companies only)

Was there no change in the majority underlying interests of any assets to which Division 149 applies?

Declare whether or not there was a change in the majority underlying ownership in any assets the company acquired before 20 September 1985. If there was a change, answer no. In this case, the cost base of the relevant asset(s) is reset under Division 149.

If there was no change, answer yes.

Print Y for yes or N for no at O.

After following all these steps, you have completed your entity's CGT schedule.

Remember to lodge the CGT schedule with your entity's tax return.

Do not lodge your worksheets - keep these with your own records.
