I am an Australian tax resident. How do I calculate the cost base of the shares I purchased post December 2003 but before the share consolidation in October 2007?
The original cost base of the Henderson Group shares acquired will be the purchase price specified on your contract note. If you sold, or otherwise disposed of, those Henderson Group shares before the share consolidation in October 2007 the cost base is the purchase price per share. If you sold, or otherwise disposed of, those Henderson Group shares after the share consolidation in October 2007 the cost base is the purchase price per share adjusted for the share consolidation by multiplying by 5/4. The information set out above is not tax advice in relation to the specific circumstances of Henderson Group shareholders. The information is intended as a general guide only and does not represent a complete analysis of all potential tax implications. You should consult your own tax adviser as to the consequences for you and your personal situation.
