The way of recording costs incurred for assets to align with ATO cost base rules. The Capital proceeds is the amount of money received as a result of a CGT event. All purchase costs must be recorded in Less costs incurred field.


First, activate the "Capital Gain"  via Financial Image, learn more HERE


ie, 

The purchase cost was $6,573  50% = $3,286.5

The sale proceeds was $5,841    50%= $2,920.5

Capital loss of ($732)  50%= ($366)


Note: Capital proceeds should be the whole amount as 50% share is auto calculated as "capital proceeds share". Make sure to fill the "Purchase Date"




Note: "Purchase Date" and "Sale Date" are not sent to ATO. Hence, they are not required and currently we use them only to determine discount option.
