You calculate the capital loss as follows:

In these formulas:

  • 'sum of reductions' is the sum of the reductions in your deductions for the asset's decline in value that is attributable to your use of the asset, or you have it installed ready for use, for a non-taxable purpose
  • 'total decline' is the decline in value of the depreciating asset since you started to hold it.

Depreciation under Prime Cost Method (Straight-line Method) till 31/05/2019= 8000/5 = 1600

for remaining 3-month year depreciation till 310/8/2019 = 1600*3/12=400

total depreciation Value = 2000

The sum of his reductions relating to his private use is $200 (10% of $2,000). calculates of capital gain / loss from CGT event K7 as follows:

  • ($8000 − $4,000) × (200 ÷ 2,000)
  • = $4,000 × 0.1
  • = $400

Capital Loss from CGT event K7 = $400 (before applying any discount).
