Hide history noteSECTION 118-225 Amount of exemption available after the principal beneficiary ' s death - general
Full exemption for trustee unless sells asset for proceeds etc.
118-225(1)
A *capital gain or *capital loss you make from a *CGT event is disregarded if:
(a) section 118-220 applies to you in relation to the CGT event; and
(b) as a result of the CGT event, an entity *acquires the *CGT asset:
(i) as trustee of an implied trust arising because of the deceased ' s death; or
(ii) as a beneficiary of the relevant trust referred to in paragraph 118-220(e) .
Exemption for beneficiary, or trustee selling asset for proceeds etc.
118-225(2)
If:
(a) section 118-220 applies to you in relation to a *CGT event, but paragraph (1)(b) does not; or
(b) section 118-222 applies to you in relation to a CGT event;
the amount of the *capital gain or *capital loss that you would have made apart from this section from the CGT event is decreased by an amount that is reasonable.
118-225(3)
In determining what is a reasonable decrease:
(a) if section 118-220 applies to you, but paragraph (1)(b) does not - treat yourself as being an individual who owned the *CGT asset as the trustee of the deceased ' s estate; and
(b) if section 118-222 applies to you - treat yourself as being an individual and treat the CGT asset or your *ownership interest in it as having *passed to you as a beneficiary in the deceased ' s estate; and
(c) have regard to the principles in this Subdivision, and to:
(i) the extent that the applicable *dwelling was the deceased ' s main residence for the relevant period; and
(ii) the extent that the dwelling was used for the *purpose of producing assessable income during the relevant period.
118-225(4)
For the purposes of subparagraph (3)(c)(i), assume the *dwelling was not the deceased ' s main residence on each day the trust referred to in paragraph 118-220(b) was not a *special disability trust.
118-225(5)
However, subsection (2) does not apply if, just before the deceased ' s death, the deceased was an *excluded foreign resident.
