Product Information
Individual CGT is often underestimated or misunderstood until SARS issues an assessment. By then, clients are angry, and the damage is done.
This session focuses on CGT in everyday individual transactions, such as property sales, investments, and business disposals. It explains when CGT applies, what exemptions really mean, and where planning usually fails.
The session is practical and clear. Delegates will learn how to identify CGT risk early, explain tax outcomes to clients in simple terms, and avoid mistakes that lead to unexpected tax bills and disputes.
