    Hi guys,
    I'm quite new to the "investment" world and have some ASX shares for some time, now i have a question that needs to be clarified:

    -As an individual investing in ASX shares, is it true that if my investment lasts more than 1 year (that is the buy-sell time), i'm eligible for the 50% tax reduction for that amount i earn from it?

    I really appriciate any response from you.
    Best of luck,
    Cheers.

    That is correct, any investments that are held on capital account for more than 365 days are eligible for a 50% discount on the tax payable on the gain.
