(d)
Capital gains and capital losses A capital gain arises when the proceeds from a disposal of an asset exceed the base cost and a capital loss arises when the base cost exceeds the proceeds. 56 Capital losses may be set off only against capital gains. The sum of all capital gains and capital losses, less an annual exclusion if applicable, is carried forward to the next year of assessment if this amount is a negative figure. An assessed capital loss must be set off against an aggregate capital gain in a year of assessment. (e) Asset An “asset” is widely defined and includes property of whatever nature, whether movable or immovable, corporeal or incorporeal and any right to, or interest in, such property. Any currency is excluded from the definition of “asset”, but any coin made mainly from gold or platinum is included. (f) Disposal CGT is triggered by the disposal or deemed disposal of an asset. The term “disposal” is described widely in paragraph 11 of the Eighth Schedule. Events which trigger a disposal include a sale, donation, exchange or loss of an asset. A person is deemed to have disposed of assets for CGT purposes, amongst others, on death or when ceasing to be a resident. 56 For more information see the Comprehensive Guide to Capital Gains Tax, the ABC of Capital Gains Tax for Individuals, the ABC of Capital Gains Tax for Companies and the Guide on Valuation of Assets for Capital Gains Tax Purpose Tax Guide for Small Businesses (2020/2021) 49 (g) Proceeds The amount received by or accrued to the seller on disposal of an asset constitutes the proceeds. Assets disposed of by donation, for a consideration not measurable in money, or to a connected person at a non-arm’s length price are treated as being disposed of for an amount received or accrued equal to the market value of the asset. The proceeds will also be equal to market value if a person dies, ceases to be a resident or is subject to a number of other deemed disposal events. Amounts included in income such as a recoupment of capital allowances are excluded from proceeds. Download 0.78 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
