INCOME TAXES


            Capital Gains Tax (CGT)




           • Capital gains tax (part of current tax) is payable on capital gains

              realised on assets sold after 1 October 2001 – to be covered in


              Taxation module


           • If the portion after 1 October 2001 is a loss, it may be set off


              against other capital gains during that financial year.



           • If the sum of all the capital gains and capital losses for the

              financial year results in a capital gain, 80% thereof must be

              included in the company's taxable income and subjected to tax at


              a rate of 28%.



           • The effect is thus an effective tax of 22,4% (80% x 28%). If the sum

              of all capital gains and capital losses for the financial year results


              in a capital loss, that loss must be carried forward to the following

              year of assessment.
