If property was acquired after August 20 1991:

REDUCED COST BASE

 

If property was acquired before May 13 1997:

MINUS CAPITAL WORKS COSTS INCURRED and qualifying for dedn. to calculate reduced cost base (for capital loss calculation).

MINUS CAPITAL WORKS COSTS INCURRED after June 30 1999, and qualifying for dedn. to calculate the cost base (for capital gains calculation).

 If property was acquired after May 13 1997:

MINUS CAPITAL WORKS DEDUCTION INCURRED and qualifying for deduction to calculate both reduced cost base, and the cost base for capital gains calculation.

 

 

Capital works deductions incurred are always omitted from the

NOTE: the capital works costs are subtracted even if they have not actually been claimed as a deduction against income.

 
REDUCED COST BASE

CAPITAL GAIN: A – B =

PROPERTY INCOME-PRODUCING

PROPERTY NOT INCOME-PRODUCING

Subtract adjustable values of depreciable assets from acquisition cost and from capital proceeds.

In this case depreciation expenses will not be a relevant consideration. The cost of any new depreciable assets is simply added to the cost base.

 

The assessable capital gain is 61,350 x 50% = 30,675.
