Using 2026/2027 SARS thresholds

How this is worked out

Selling price: R 0
Less: base cost (purchase + improvements + selling costs): − R 0
Capital gain: R 0
Primary residence exclusion: − R 0
Annual exclusion applied: − R 0
Taxable capital gain: R 0
Included in taxable income (40%): R 0
Estimated CGT (at your marginal rate): R 0,00

This is a simplified estimate for natural persons (individuals) only — it does not cover trusts, companies, non-residents, land exceeding two hectares, or deceased-estate disposals, and CGT interacts with your full tax return. It is not a tax opinion. The 2026/2027 figures (R50k annual exclusion, R3m primary residence exclusion, 40% inclusion rate) are reviewed by SARS at each annual Budget Speech and may change — confirm your position with the listing attorney or a tax practitioner before relying on this figure.
