Abstract

[Extract] The application of the capital gains tax ("CGT") to non-residents has always been a vexed issue. The first version of the CGT more or less mirrored the general income tax provisions by applying the CGT to a broad range of what might be termed "Australian source assets" held by non-residents (see the former s 160T of ITAA 1936). However it was soon recognised that, notwithstanding the legislation, non-residents might be able to avail themselves of treaty protection to avoid the CGT. Of course, the pre-CGT tax treaties made no reference to the CGT enabling the Tax Office to (controversially) argue that they, therefore, had no application: Taxation Ruling TR 2001/12.
