Capital Gains Tax is a complex matter to understand. Capital gains tax (CGT) is not a separate tax but forms part of income tax. A capital gain arises when you dispose of an asset on or after 1 October 2001 for proceeds that exceed its base cost. The relevant legislation is contained in the Eighth Schedule to the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962. Please join us for this very insightful session, whereby we are going to unpack CGT on a more advanced level.
