Ruling
Subject: CGT – absolute entitlement
Question
Is your acquisition date of the property for CGT purposes prior to 20 September 1985?
Answer
Yes. Having considered your circumstances and the relevant factors relating to your situation the Commissioner accepts that your interest in the property was held on bare trust for you and that you were absolutely entitled to the property. Consequently for capital gains tax purposes you are considered to have acquired the property before 20 September 1985. Further information can be found by searching TR 2004/D25 on ato.gov.au
