    Does anyone know whether an IP purchased under a Unit Trust attracts the 50% CGT exemption on sale?

    Thanks

    Hi Linar

    With a trust the income retains its character when passed through. I am not quiet sure if it is the same with a unit trust, but think so. So if the unit holder is a person, then the person may be able to claim the 50% cgt exemption if the asset was held more than 12 months.
