BUDDY says: 15 October 2015 at 22:12 As a private taxpayer, you letting out a house of yours for 7 years. Then you decide to live in the house yourself ( I believe the house then becomes you primary residence. ). For example, after 2,3 or even 7 years,you decide to sell the residence. With Capital gain tax in mind,do SARS handle it as normal CGT on a primary residence or because that you have letting it out, is there a special formula when culculate your liability for CGT on the house. I own more tha n one house.. |

TaxTim says: 16 October 2015 at 14:59 You would apportion the total capital gain between the period you used the residence for your home and the rental period. The primary residence exclusion would then apply to the portion of the gain pertaining to your primary residence period. You would always pay full CGT on the portion of the gain applicable to the period you let it out. Please make use of our Capital Gains Tax Calculator to help with your calculations.

TaxTim says: 20 October 2015 at 21:31 The total number of months you owned the house equals 152 months. Period of letting = 138 months Period of primary residence = 14 months Total Gain = R3,1m - R800,000 = R2,300,000 Primary residence portion = 14/152 X R2,300,000 = R211,842 R211,842 - R2,000,000 (primary residence exclusion) = nil Non-primary residence portion = 138/152 X R2,300,000 = R2,088,158 Capital gain less annual exclusion of R30,000 = R2,088,158 - R30,000 = R2,058,158 33,3% X R2,058,158 = R685,366 Total taxable income = R685,366 + R 320,000 = R1,005,366 Tax you will pay / PAYE (Pay As You Earn) for your income bracket: R 319,997.06 (as per PAYE tables provided by SARS) |
