How do I calculate my capital proceeds under the Amcor Limited scheme of arrangement for Australian income tax purposes?
On 11 June 2019, Amcor plc acquired all the shares in Amcor Limited by way of scheme of arrangement. Amcor Limited shareholders received one Amcor plc share or CDI for each Amcor Limited share they held.
As confirmed in the Class Ruling announced to ASX on 26 June 2019, a shareholder makes a capital gain if the capital proceeds from their disposal of their Amcor Limited share exceeds its cost base. A shareholder makes a capital loss if the capital proceeds from the disposal of their Amcor limited share are less than its reduced cost base. This should not be relevant if the shareholder chooses scrip for scrip roll-over. Paragraph 18 of the Class Ruling states that the capital proceeds are equal to the market value of the Amcor plc share or CDI received on the Implementation Date. This market value should be determined by reference to the last closing price of the shares on the Implementation Date, which was US$11.18 for Amcor plc share and AUD$16.00 for a CDI.
Documents relating to the transaction can be found in the Presentations section of the website under the years 2018 and 2019.
