Australia doesn't have a separate CGT rate — gains are added to your assessable income and taxed at your marginal rate, with a valuable discount for longer-held assets.
If you're an individual or trust and held the asset for more than 12 months, only 50% of the gain is included in your assessable income. Companies don't get this discount.
Gains on the sale of your main residence are generally fully exempt from CGT, provided it was your home for the entire ownership period and wasn't used to produce income.
Capital losses can only offset capital gains (not other income), but can be carried forward indefinitely to future years.
