Practitioners Guide to Capital Gains Tax (second edition 2005)
RC Williams

ISBN: 9780720167317
Softcover
2005

Capital gains tax came into effect in South Africa on 1 October 2001. Its introduction has completely changed the fiscal landscape in South Africa. In this new era, no contract (or variation of a contract), no business deal, no corporate reconstruction, no sale of investments, no waiver or reduction of a debt and no formation or variation of a trust should be entered into without careful appraisal of the capital gains tax consequences.

This work is designed to meet the needs of attorneys, accountants, tax consultants, investment advisers, and other professionals. The manual explains, in depth and in detail, the conceptual basis and the practical implications of capital gains tax. The book includes a paragraph-by-paragraph commentary on the provisions of the Eighth Schedule and the Corporate Rules, including many practical illustrations of capital gains tax calculations.
