What is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

An asset in terms of the Eighth Schedule to the Income Tax Act includes any fixed property or any interest therein of whatever nature.  CGT is applicable to all assets disposed of on or after 1 October 2001.  It does not matter whether the asset has been obtained before or after 1 October 2001.  It is however only the gain which is subject to CGT from 1 October 2001.  A certain amount of gain on a Primary residence determined from time to time is excluded from CGT.
A primary residence:

  • Must be owned by a natural person and not a trust, company or close corporation;
  • The owner or spouse of that person must ordinarily reside in that home;
  • The property must be used for domestic or private residential purposes.

What is “voetstoots” and does it apply to my transaction?

This means that the property is sold as it stands. This clause applies to your transaction unless you are a developer. The SELLER is in terms hereof not liable to the PURCHASER for any defects in the property, whether visible or not, unless the SELLER knew of defects that are not visible (latent defects) and did not bring them to the attention of the PURCHASER.
