Sold out of CPH today, they got bought some Canadian medicinal marijuana company...

So if 20% of my holdings are over 12 months old... does that mean I only pay tax on 80% of the profit, since those shares I've owned for less than 12 months?

So if my first buy is at a loss... I pay no tax?
Then second buy is all the profit and all the tax.


Yes. Or the first buy losses offsets the second buys taxes.

That's the way the accountant told me to do it, treat all buys as individual transactions (as they are) and sales take shares out of the earliest transaction until it's done then move on to the next oldest. If you do it that way the tax office has nothing to argue about you doing anything dodgy.

The CGT reduction is 50%, so you only pay half the tax on profits from any capital holdings over 12 months old. If that's 20% of your shares, then you can nominate ANY 20% of your shares in the company to apply the reduction.

As you haven't sold any of the shares you have realised a loss yet, so even if those older shares were sold at a loss, it's irrelevant. What matters here is your average purchase price and your average sell price - what is left over is your profit. 20% of that profit you could argue should only be taxed at half the rate, whilst the remaining 80% will be taxed at the full capital gains tax rate.

Litecoin surging... At break even point. Will probably pull out soon and re-enter later once it dips (and it will).
Got to try and remember how to use my ledgerwallet now... lol

Speaking of pulling out... What's a realistic budget for a wedding? Not looking at receptions at this point... So just venue, snacks/catering/seating, photos, flowers, celebrant etc.
Asking for a friend who is budgeting for the future.

Ignoring reception I would think it would cost circa:

 

pre marriage course 240
Veil 260
Dress 3610
Photographer 3600
wedding cars 1660
Church 800
invitations & stationary 1419.49
Florist 500
Her wedding band 2300
His wedding band 735

Get married at the registry - in and out in 20 minutes. Genuinely one of the better weddings I've been to. Your guests will love you for not making them stand/sit still for a couple hours and the bride has no excuse to be late.

Spend the rest of the money you saved on a reception at with a 9 course meal at Sake down the road in their private/basement function room/bar; walking distance so no transport required. Guests will also love you for this.

a custom designed titanium with a gold inlay....

and to be married in a church you need to do a pre-wedding course, which I thought was a load of bollocks till I did it and had some good stuff. 

Oh and lots of religious stuff.

My sister is doing the registry thing later this year and a big reception. I for one, do appreciate it not sucking up an entire weekend.

Personally, itd be nice to get it all over and done with in one afternoon. Engagement party to merge and meet families etc, that's about it. I know friends want to be involved but isn't it just easier to include a small handful and keep it low key?

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
