AbstractThis paper sets out a framework, based on option pricing theory, that can be used to assess the value of deferred unrealised capital gains tax. In the U.K. and Australia, capital gains tax is paid on realisation of assets and the basis for determining the tax allows for inflation indexation of the cost base of the asset. Capital gains tax payments under these circumstances are shown to resemble those of a complex option. A number of theoretical approaches to the valuation of this option are discussed in the paper.

The objective of this paper is to introduce the theory of option pricing for markets with informed traders within the framework of dynamic asset pricing theory. We introduce new models for option pricing for informed traders in complete markets, where we consider traders with information on the stock price direction and stock return mean. The Black–Scholes–Merton option pricing theory is extended for markets with informed traders, where price processes are following continuous-diffusions. By doing so, the discontinuity puzzle in option pricing is resolved. Using market option data, we estimate the implied surface of the probability for a stock upturn, the implied mean stock return surface, and implied trader information intensity surface.
