Income tax Dates
Use this tool when you have a shareholding in an Australian company, listed on the ASX, to check if it is exempt from the foreign investment fund (FIF) rules.
If it is, then the FIF rules will not apply to the shareholding, and it will be taxed under the same rules as apply to New Zealand shares. For an individual, this means that dividends will be taxed on a cash basis and capital gains will be taxable if the shares are held on revenue account.
Before you start
In order to use this tool you will need:
- The ASX ticker code for the company you’re checking.
- The financial year for which you want information.
This tool is based on a standard 31 March balance date. You should not rely on this tool if you have a non-standard balance date.
Some companies have more than one ticker because they have more than one equity or debt security. Each such listed security has its own ticker. Additionally, some companies change their ticker during the year. Companies may also change their name.
