Do I pay tax on selling shares in Australia?

Submitted by on September 6, 2010 – 2:56 pmNo Replies


A web user asks, I’m 18 and have no income, however I have $3k in shares and want to sell them (I’m going to start day trading with other savings). Do I pay capital gains tax or any other kind of tax when I sell, even if I have no income and under the $6000 income threshold? If so, would I pay tax if I re-invested them? Thanks in advance
