The gain made on the shares is subject to capital gains tax. This would be the difference between the purchase price and the selling price. Your IT3c received from the investment house would be able to provide this gain/loss. You would include this on your ITR12 - income tax return. The gain is subject to a R30 000 per year exclusion and then 33.3% is then included in your taxable income.
