Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Refresher – Revitalise Your Knowledge
Presenters : Carmen Westermeyer
Overview
As we know, capital gains tax is not a separate tax but forms part of income tax and is based on the profit earned from the sale of an asset which has increased in value over time. The basic calculation isn’t hard to forget but it’s easy to overlook the finer details of costs that should be included in base cost and disposal.
Are you aware of the number of changes to the principles of CGT have occurred over the years? This session is aimed at renewing your technical knowledge on the subject, as well as informing you of the correct practical procedures to follow when calculating CGT.
