    I had to call ASB a month ago - my wife and I have a sharetrading account with them under a joint CSN, but I needed to sell some shares that were under a different CSN. Very helpful.

    If you aren't in a rush you can also do off-market transfers between CSNs -- at no cost. I've used them where I have a trading account but my joint holdings do not.

    Even .2% is expensive in comparison to Aussie, anyone doing a reasonable volume over there can get .05-.08% plus free trades once you hit so many per month, we need more competition here in the no frills market.

    Yes, I have done that a few times also.

    With the likes of Interactive Brokers for US companies a typical charge is only US$1 per trade.

    Personally I think .2% is fine as I can remember when it was 2.5% reducing to 1.5% at some value.

    However it should be capped at some level.

    If a CGT appears in the future then I think a lot of us investors would trade a lot more than we do now. That might be the time for brokerage to reduce.

    Yep and more competition would do wonders here also although not $1 per trade level of wonders.

    Possibly but if CGT is set at say a sensible 15% level then it's still less than half of what traders pay on the top marginal tax rate.
