Questions

Clear answers before you sign up.

How does OpenFolio estimate Australian CGT?

OpenFolio estimates CGT from the trade records you provide. It tracks parcels, cost base, disposal proceeds, holding period and selected matching method, then shows estimated realised gains and losses for review.

What is the 50% CGT discount in Australia?

Australian resident individuals may be eligible for a 50% CGT discount when a capital asset is held for at least 12 months before disposal. OpenFolio can flag parcel age, but users should confirm eligibility with a tax professional.

What is FIFO vs LIFO for shares?

FIFO matches disposals against the oldest available parcels first. LIFO matches disposals against the newest available parcels first. OpenFolio lets users compare strategies as estimates before relying on professional tax advice.

Is OpenFolio tax advice?

No. OpenFolio is record-keeping and calculation software. CGT outputs are estimates based on user-provided data and should be checked against source records and professional advice before lodging a tax return.
