I have received the same emails that others have regarding my order proceeding through the system, but no allocation yet. This is for a White Sealion 7 Premium ordered end of March in Perth. However, today I noticed a change in my Account online. Whilst previously even though I had a purchase order as an email only, with my online Account just showing a Sealion 7 unconfigured (model with none of my selections applied), today I have notice the Account has gone from "View Configuration" to "View Order" This now shows all my selections and matches my purchase order. It looks like it is progressing slowly.

I am a bit overwhelmed by all the tax related questions since the budget, so I apologise if this has already been asked.

If I buy shares on August 1st 2026, for example, and sell them August 1st 2028, I understand that they will be taxed based on a combination of the old and new tax regimes, based on their purchase cost, the market value at opening on 1st July 2027 and the indexation rates of 1st July 27 and 1st August 2028 and the sale price. But what discount applies to the capital gain prior to 1st July 2027? Does that qualify for the 50% discount because the shares were ultimately held for more than a year, or is there no discount because the shares were held for less than a year when under the old regime?

I received another email from BYD today. I ordered a Sealion 7 Premium (Perth dealer) at the end of March. I had already received an email last Tuesday that others have posted here, the main difference I see between this an the last, which may be or not be significant is:

Previous email: Great news! Your order is active and moving smoothly through our allocation process.

Today's email: Great news, your order is secured and positioned for upcoming allocation as vehicles become available.

Secured seems a lot stronger than active, so I am hoping my discount still applies*.*
