  • Do you know when CGT applies to your home office?
  • Kenyans are in uproar as capital gains tax or CGT is about to be reintroduced in the country. Luckily, selling your one and only home won't be subject to CGT in the country as more people across the globe are working from home.

  • These days, it's easy to start up more than one business, or to acquire more than 10% of the shares in a business.

  • The truth about death and taxes - CGT still applies AFTER you die!
  • Irish entrepreneurs are hoping their voices are heard as they ask for the capital gains tax or CGT that applies to them to be halved from 33% to 16.5%. This comes after the CGT rate was upped from 30% to 33% in the country last December. In South Africa, businesses of all sizes are also doing all they can to pay less CGT - but you're in it for the long run - you'll still effectively be paying CGT after death. Luckily, four types of capital assets aren't affected by CGT when they're donated on death...... ››› more

  • Do you know when NOT to pay Capital Gains Tax?
  • Kenyan property owners are 'set for another round of pain starting in the next financial year if the taxman heeds advice from the Parliamentary Budget Office,' warns The Star in Kenya. Why?

It's also applicable on investments, the sale of your company, a holiday home and much more. But, what most people don't realise is there are actually instances where you DON'T have to pay CGT.
