Capital Gains Tax 2022

Description

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) has a fundamental and direct impact on all areas of financial planning.  The impact of CGT can change a good investment into a bad one.  Disregarding CGT will result in objectives not being achieved.  A simple thing like running a business from one’s primary residence (like so many people do these days), can result in the primary residence becoming subject to CGT even if its value is below R 2 000 000.What may seem like a simple and easy decision, may trigger a disposal for Capital Gains Tax Purposes.  A spouse donating assets or an investment to the other spouse, can still be held liable for CGT on such asset or investment.  How many times do you get the question “Should I rather invest the money in my spouse’s name?”.Planning for business succession is another area where Capital Gains Tax must be considered.  Selling a business will trigger CGT and its impact must always be determined and planned for.Enough with the doom and gloom!What you should really see from the above, are loads of opportunities.Capital Gains Tax presents the opportunity to increase your business significantly.  Not only will you increase your business, but you will enhance the trust clients put in you.  Our role as financial planners and advisers is to help our clients make better financial decisions.  Underlying great financial decisions, is great and relevant information.  This means that it is up to you to foresee what the circumstances may be down the road, highlight risks and the impact of taxes (such as CGT).  You must be able to quantify and demonstrate any impact in a way that the client will understand.
