DV 25: Hedging of currency movements in Australian non-attributing shares and attributing FDR method interests

You could also call this:

“Tax relief for protecting Australian investments against currency changes”

You can get money back for costs you have when you protect yourself against changes in the value of money between New Zealand and Australia. This applies when you own certain types of shares or investments in Australia. The rules for this are explained in another part of the law called section EM 6.

You can claim this money back even if it’s usually seen as a long-term cost. However, you still need to follow the main rules about what you can claim, and there are other limits that still apply.
