Understanding the Indexation Method for CGT in Australia
Quick Answer
The indexation method for CGT in Australia adjusts the cost base of an asset for inflation, using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate the capital gain. This method is available for assets acquired before 21 September 1999. It can reduce the taxable gain by accounting for inflation over the holding period.
