    Ato is the real winner!

  • I got 3 tsla and 1 apple. Referred a mate and got 12 tsla.
    Not bad for sitting on my ass watching the f1

  • +1

    Crazy how this went from less than 100 referrals to almost 1000 within a week

  • For those who have made it to 5 referrals, how much did you get? And is it just in TLSA as well? Or same deal and you can 'get lucky' with other shares?

    • +1

      You are just given TSLA shares in one of the randomly assigned values below:

      US$80

      US$200

      US$500

      US$800

      US$2,000

      • Cool, thanks. 'Randomly' being the operative word haha. I might as well try, only need 2 more I think.

  • 51 Tesla and 1 Apple so far lol not bad. Need one more referall for the big reward

  • +2

    5 successful referrals so far including my mum! Easiest money I have made in 2 days.
    64 Teslas: $384
    1 Amazon: $100
    1 Apple: $50
    Tesla 5x referral bonus: $200
    Total value: $734usd or $1105 aud!
    Tax free as well, no need to declare free gifts to the ATO

    • Good job with that AMZN! Sadly when I got my AMZN it was the previous promotion where they were $40 value.

    • +4

      Tax free as well, no need to declare free gifts to the ATO

      Please don't spread misinformation - that's entirely incorrect. You can still absolutely make a capital gain from a free share when you sell it.

      As plenty of others have already pointed out in the comments, this does not come without a tax burden…

      • +1

        Unless I have it wrong, i believe the initial amount is considered a gift but any increase in value is considered capital gains and can be taxed, so if you sell immediately there shouldn’t be any problems. The shares appear on the in app statements as costing nothing too

        • Yeah that's my understanding too - and the price is continually variable so it could be difficult to sell all the shares at exactly the price you received received them at.

          • +2

            @Nom: Well no, the price should very little since you can sell them the day you get them and from that point on it’s just cash in your trading account that can be withdrawn. And the statements are all there to verify

      • +1

        Only if you are given it at $1 and then it goes up to $2 when you sell it. Then you'd have a tax burden on the 1$ profit.

    • +1

      Wrong on tax mate. As soon as you sell it you got to pay the tax

      • And your referrals all need to do the same thing too…

      • Can't believe the misinformation of these people who have no idea.

        Your acquired value is $0, still have to pay capital gains when you sell.

        • +5

          Your information is incorrect.

          I have spoken to the ATO on two separate occasions about this. Once a year ago when the AAPL shares were been gifted, and again recently when this Webull promotion launched.

          In both cases, they have pointed me to the following webpage from the ATO.

          https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Investments-and-assets/In…

          Shares you received as a gift
          If you dispose of shares you received as a gift, you must use the shares' market value on the day that you received them as the first element of your cost base when working out your capital gain or loss.

          • @Charlie Dont Surf: Spot on.
            Since the fractional shares that are gifted to your account are fixed in value, there’s no increase in market value when you sell therefore no CGT gains.

            • +1

              @Browndog69: I'm not saying that they are CGT-free, unless you sell them literally when they land in your trading account.

              The cost base of the shares is their market value on the day they arrive in your account and you have full ownership of them. Even within that day, the price could fluctuate a bit for a stock like Tesla. But if you choose/stick with either opening price or closing price on that day for all your gifted shares, you should be fine. I tend to choose opening price.

              If you hold the shares for x days/months/years after that, you will either have a capital gain or a capital loss when you dispose of those shares. And any dividends from the shares will form part of your taxable income for that financial year.

            • @Browndog69: This is only the case if you sell all the shares as soon as you receive them for exactly the same price you received them at.

              If you can do all this without making any capital gain, then you have no capital gain to declare.

          • -1

            @Charlie Dont Surf: I think the term gift is like between family and friends. Where this is a bonus?

            Ive had hit and miss info from the ATO for many years, but would like to get to the bottom of this.

            It's income and classed as income if you sell?

            The cost base is $0 because you didn't pay anything for it.

            I'll keep you posted. My accountant has been in the business for 30 years. I'll see what he says.

            • +1

              @Korban Dallas: It's not a bonus share. That term has a very specific meaning in the context of share ownership.

              As I said, I've contacted the ATO twice about this, spoken to two different people, and received exactly the same response. That is good enough for me, but I'll be interested to hear what your accountant has to say.

              Probably the only absolutely categorical, definitive decision on this would be if the ATO made a private/public Ruling, using our exact example here with a broker giving shares away.

              • +1

                @Charlie Dont Surf: Sorry wasn't referring to a bonus share.

                Just bonus in general.

                I think the ATO need to get with the times and clarify things easier.

                • +2

                  @Korban Dallas: No worries. We are all in an agreement that disposing of these shares triggers a CGT event, it's just the cost base that we're discussing and debating. Which is important, of course.

                  • +2

                    @Charlie Dont Surf: Ive asked the question. Should get an answer tomorrow.

                    So another question. If a company gifts a workers spouse shares would the cost base be zero.

                    Or if they gifted an employee would it be nil cost base.

                  • +2

                    @Charlie Dont Surf: I was hoping for more of an in-depth response but this is what I said:

                    Question came up recently regarding cost base of fractional shares. If these were received as part of a referral program.

                    Is the cost base nil or would it be the price when you acquired them?

                    People who I have talked to regard these as a gift which I don't think is right. I mean I understand a gift would be in relation to a friend or family. Not to a referral program.

                    This is what he said:

                    Essentially if you on-sell the shares you have received, they would be subject to capital gains tax, but the cost base would be nil if no consideration paid.

                    • +1

                      @Korban Dallas: Thanks for going to the effort of asking him.

                    • +1

                      @Korban Dallas: ATTENTION speculators!
                      I have spoken with an SME at the ATO after a formal request for further guidance. They have advised that this is correct. Cost base is $0. If you want to argue that it should be considered a gift you'll need to put in a private ruling or roll the dice and hope you dont get audited.

                      • +1

                        @Josieandthe: Hey. I got confirmation too.

                        I think that puts the nail in the head.

                        • @Korban Dallas: A private ruling/public ruling would be the confirmation. I'm hoping @Cjdanger goes ahead and applies and I will piggy-back off that :) I'm not selling these shares before the end of the financial year, so I have a bit of time on my side.

        • No its a gift. Its not taxable.

          Its like opening a credit card, and they give you $500 free stuff. That isn't taxable either.

          • @Pacify: Ah so my sanctuary cove accountant who is the director is wrong?

            So should I tell him he is wrong? Think it's bad for business especially with all of the millionaires he looks after.

            He's given me a contact within the ATO who does personal tax audits. I'll keep you posted.

            Think that will give me the final and correct answer.

            What is a gift?

            • @Korban Dallas: Yes please keep us posted mate!

            • +1

              @Korban Dallas: I've spoken to two people at the ATO. So it will be interesting to hear what this third representative says.

              Since we spoke a few days ago, I found this on the ATO community forum: https://community.ato.gov.au/s/question/a0J9s0000001Cb5/p000…

              It doesn't answer the question here, but helps show the "informal" nature of these referral bonuses etc in the eyes of the ATO…maybe lol

              • +2

                @Charlie Dont Surf: So I put in a formal request for guidance from the ATO at the end of March. I gave them all of the details of WeBulls promotion. They came back to me finally and said…

                "To apply for a private ruling."

                It seems the tax laws at the moment do not explicitly cover this type of promotion currently.

                As a side note, if you call the ATO call centre they will only give you their best guess on tax laws especially with unclear things like this promotion. They should explicitly tell you that we as taxpayers have to interpret tax laws and do what we think is right. At least that's what they should be saying.
                Source: I worked in an ATO call centre for 3 years.

                • +2

                  @Cjdanger: That's what was suggested to me a couple weeks ago when I spoke with the ATO.

                  I think it's fair to think that income/capital gains from these shares should be included in your tax return, as they become part of your income-generating investment portfolio, and they're registered in your name, and you've probably also given your TFN when signing up to Webull,Tiger etc!! I can see a distinction between that versus promotions like a $10 referral bonus from Spaceship or a bank giving you $100 for signing up to a new debit card etc.

                  The cost-base question is a bit more nuanced, and I can see/ appreciate the competing arguments. I think that Korban did pose the question to his accountant in a slightly leading way - it's better to ask the question in neutral language and let them figure the response.

                  • +1

                    @Charlie Dont Surf: I've unfortunately learnt that what seems reasonable and fair doesn't really matter when it comes to taxation laws. Especially with emerging financial markets.

                    People need to weigh up the risks of lodging this promotion in whichever way they think applies based on the currently available laws and information. Or they need to apply for a private ruling.

                  • @Charlie Dont Surf: Yes says the people who use the word gift. Accountants know their stuff. ATO reps, would be varying in knowledge.

                    Was trying to be as straight as possible.

          • @Pacify:

            Its not taxable.

            …at time of receipt.

            It's definately taxable if you sell it for a profit !

            The debate here is whether you pay tax on just the profit (ie the gain) or whether you pay tax on the entire price (because you received it for $0 so arguably 100% of the sale price is profit.

            Just because it's a gift, this does not remove all tax implications.

            Its like opening a credit card, and they give you $500 free stuff. That isn't taxable either.

            If the credit card was giving you $500 of free shares (investments) and then you sold them for $1000 you would absolutely have a tax implication.

            • @Nom: To be honest. Everyone giving tax advice in this thread is 100% speculating. I asked for formal guidance from the ATO and they told me to apply for a private ruling.

              In the last few FYs the ATO decided that crypto referrals are actually classified as INCOME, which are basically the exact same as this promotion except receiving crypto instead of shares. Source: https://community.ato.gov.au/s/question/a0J9s0000001tfA/p001…

              It's fine if you guys want to speculate but nobody in this thread knows the true answer.

              • @Cjdanger: Yep - none of us are giving tax advice, we are absolutely only speculating.

                You could argue that the shares are classed as income at the price you received them at, and then they also contribute to cap gains when you sell them at any profit 🤷🏼‍♂️

                As usual, the ATO does a shit job of explaining any of these scenarios properly and clearly so none of us really know. This is standard fare for the ATO, they do an absolutely terrible job of explaining our obligation, to the point where an entire multi billion dollar industry exists purely to navigate their stupidly complicated tax code that sometimes the ATO themselves don't understand clearly.

                • @Nom: Spot on! In the situation you describe it would be worst case scenario for me, though it's exactly how the classify crypto referrals.

                  I'm currently tossing up whether or not I'll put in for a private ruling. I forsee it being a lot of effort for them to tell me it's the worse case scenario…

                  • @Cjdanger:

                    In the situation you describe it would be worst case scenario for me, though it's exactly how the classify crypto referrals.

                    If you receive free shares or crypto, which you class as income, and then they become worthless whilst you still hold them, you've literally just paid income tax on something now worth nothing 🤷🏼‍♂️ I completely understand why people do this, and again I blame it entirely on the ATO's terrible guidance.
                    Did I mention that their guidance is shit ? 😁

                    • @Nom: Yup! I learnt that the hard way last financial year. It is especially bad when you consider that now worthless 'income' will also reduce centrelink payments like family tax benefit.

                      It's why I stopped doing any crypto staking. Wasn't worth it for me.

                      Sorry if slightly off topic.

                      • @Cjdanger: What's really insidious is that for large amounts, that income tax bill can be significant.
                        And if that particular item is worth nothing at the end of the financial year, you can't even sell it to raise the money to pay the income tax bill. So you can become totally rooted 💀

  • Why does it want to know where I work and why do they need a photo of my ID? I'm hesitant after all the recent hacks at Latitude, Medibank, Optus, etc.

    • +4

      Standard anti-money-laundering rules - they need to know exactly who you are so they can report to ATO and AUSTRACK - you'll find almost every investment platform has the same requirements.

    • -1

      Why does it want to know

      Because we are selling identities to the Chinese government for money. But that is the deal I am willing to make.

      • Every brokerage company asks for the same, no matter where its located. Whether or no the Chinese government cares about your "identity", who knows

  • my friends are all so sceptical even after telling them that I would split my referral of $50 with them :( It's effectively the most to ever make timewise haha. Anyone have any tips to not make it as awkward after them saying no :P

    • +6

      Idiots.

      Typical non Ozbargainers.

  • no one seems to talk about the grand prize of $4k for the most referals, standing at 16 atm. Total earning is $4756(min)?

    • +1

      Pipe dream, the no.1 spot gets really out of reach, e.g. the last leaderboard had no.1 at ~75 referrals

  • Has anyone tried to withdraw? I sold my shares but it says 0 USD available to convert

      Has it been 2 business days since you sold them?

      • Nah is that how long it takes to clear? Cheers

        • +1

          Yes, it's called the settlement period.

  • Just new to this but if you go through the referral system it's the same benefit right but in this case you're helping someone out.

    • If you don’t go through the referall system you won’t be eligible for the promo

      • Oh right. Thanks

  • -3

    Only 1 referral an 1st day of posting (out of 3 clicks) and none since. Oh well at least got 1

  • Another day, another click, another unsuccessful sign-up. Oh well.

  • Chances of another extension. I am getting used to the passive income

    • No one knows for sure

    • +1

      Well the leader board promotion expires at the end of the month. So I predict it is likely to extend again.

      • Hey Cj, speaking of extensions and the timespan of these promotions from Webull, how have you seen your random sign-ups progress? When did you originally sign-up and how many randoms did you get and did you see spikes with each new promotion period?

        • Hey mate, i originally signed up near the end of March. I have had one or two random referrals each new month the promo has been renewed which is always nice. Though now with so many people in the referral pool it gets less likely.

          • @Cjdanger: Yeah the ongoing month-to-month nature of the referrals for this deal via OzB is kind of phenomenal. Now if only every click actually converted to an actual sign-up!

  • Mod: Please note that users in the penalty box (due to ghost accounts or some other reason), or inactive users, are not included in the referral pool (the system will exclude them when random is clicked), for Webull or ANY referral system.

  • Got 4 shares of $6 Tesla. Probably end up getting another 2x$6.

    Less than Tiger Brokers 5x$10USD.

    • The true value in this Webull deal is the referral bonuses.

      • To be fair, it was way better when it was 12x minimum of $8usd

  • Has anyone received more than $80 shares for referring more than 5 people?

    • +1

      Yeah someone posted $200 earlier in this thread.

      • Thanks

  • Got a referral from here! Thanks random citizen!

  • i have redraw and happy with the free $$

  • 1 click and free 12x tesla shares :)

  • Anyone know why is TSLA $6? But it is currently trading at $164

    • Fractional share.

    • It’s a Fractional share

      • Ohhhhh

        So the other moomoo one might be better…I got 28x TSLA fractions coming to webbull though.

        • Moomoo:
          The probability of winning each stock is as follows:
          TSLA 0.001%
          AAPL 0.005%
          AMZN 0.10%
          KO 4.50%
          GME 47.095%
          AMC 48.389%

      Funny story I sold it as 6 TSLA shares to one of my friends to get him to sign up, should've recorded his face when he found out its a fraction. Promised him to sell couple of my Tesla ones to get him some beers

  • Between webull and moomoo, have received around $500AUD worth of shares. Any thoughts on the moomoo up to $2000 cash coupon deal?

  • Noob here - how are you informed of the referral clicks?

    • +2

      Go to your Account > Edit > Referrals, then scroll down to 'Webull'. You'll be able to see your last edit/save date and clicks (if any).

      • +3

        You can also see that info if you scroll up to the Referral Links section under the post.

        • you can to! thanks for pointing that out :)

  • +1

    Had more luck with moomoo

      The strength of this deal isn't in the initial shares, it's in the bonus for referrals.

  • Has anyone noticed that each time when you copy your referral code, it ends up with a new link that has never been the same as your previous one?

  • Thank you to those of you who clicked on the referral link. Managed to get 2 referrals from here :)

  • None here, lucky you

    ANYONE had rewards clear today? My previous rewards all got credited days before the estimated date of arrival, now i have rewards past the estimated date

    • But you got some last promo ;)

      • Talking about clicks from this post, or other one ( referall clicks )

        • Same here. This time it’s past 2 days.
