WATCH I Since its introduction in 2001, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) has become a significant tax that warrants serious consideration in business and private transactions for individual taxpayers.

Capital Gains Tax

Overview

CGT is usually triggered on the transfer of wealth, but some ordinary business transactions can also have CGT consequences. With organisational restructuring it is critical to consider the impact of CGT. The lack of planning could result in significant tax liabilities for the parties. It is equally true when making investment decisions.
