Australian Capital Gains Tax Considerations
A Westfield Group stapled security comprises three seperate assets for capitl gains tax purposes. For capital gains tax purposes you need to apportion the cost of each stapled security and the proceeds on sale of each stapled security over the separate assets that make up the stapled security. This apportionment should be done on a reasonable basis. One possible method of apportionment is on the basis of the relative Net Tangible Assets (NTAs) of the individual entities.
These are set out by entity in the 'Taxation Information' of this site.
