Valuation date
1 Oct 2001
Base Cost Of Pre-valuation Date Assets
Asset acquired before valuation date
Historical cost: R100
Sold for: R700
Capital gain is R600 (R700 – R100)
A portion of the gain of R600 refers to the pre-
valuation date period and is not subject to CGT,
but a portion of this gain of R600 refers to the post-
valuation date period and is therefore subject to CGT.
How should one determine which part of the R600 is
subject to CGT?
