CGT on unit trust sale?

Posted 31 October 2013

Do all types of unit trusts attract capital gains tax when units are sold for cash withdrawal? Is there a yearly tax concession limit on investments such as unit trusts which is not taxable?

You are entitled to a have the first R30 000 of gains/losses on the sale of capital items such as shares or unit trust units disregarded each year and thereafter 33.3% of the remaining gain or loss is included in your taxable income.
