Australian Tax Considerations (ATO)
Capital Gains Tax: Gains on disposal of Dangote shares are included in Australian assessable income as CGT. For individuals, if you hold for 12+ months before selling, only 50% of the gain is included (the 50% CGT discount).
Foreign Income: Dividends from Nigerian securities are included in your assessable income in the year received. Foreign currency gains/losses on the AUD/NGN movement also affect your tax position.
Foreign Tax Credit: Nigerian withholding tax (10%) paid on dividends reduces your Australian tax liability on the same income (up to the Australian tax on that income).
CRS Reporting: Australia participates in the OECD Common Reporting Standard. Foreign accounts are automatically reported to the ATO. Declare all foreign income and accounts.
