Australian Capital Gains Tax considerations

An APN European Retail Property Group (‘AEZ Group’) stapled security comprises two separate assets for capital gains tax purposes (one APN European Retail Property Holding Trust unit and one APN European Retail Property Management Trust unit).

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.
