TaxTim says: 1 June 2016 at 9:48 No, there are no tax deductions when building your primary residence- this is a capital cost. When you one day sell the house, the cost of the plot plus building costs will be the base cost to be used in the calculation of capital gains tax - CGT (however there is a R2m primary residence exclusion so you only pay CGT if the profit is greater than R2m). |
