Protect Your Profits, Minimise Your CGT Liability
When you sell property, shares, or a business asset, you may face Capital Gains Tax (CGT). The rules are complex, but the right strategy can reduce what you owe and protect your hard-earned gains.
At de Zwaans Accounting & Tax, we provide expert CGT advice from our base in Helensvale Plaza, supporting clients right across the Gold Coast — from Coomera and Hope Island in the north through to Robina, Burleigh Heads, and Palm Beach.
What is Capital Gains Tax?
CGT is triggered when you dispose of an asset for more than you paid for it. The gain is added to your taxable income. Common CGT events include:
Selling an investment property
Disposing of shares or managed funds
Selling all or part of a business
Gifting or transferring certain assets
Inherited estates and deceased estates
The amount you pay depends on factors like ownership structure, timing, exemptions, and whether concessions apply.
