Well to be honest I have no idea how men's brains work either
It's very simple really.
How goes it?
Fine, calling up and down with Cape Town to check if they got an email. How long can these things take?

QUESTION 4 (10 marks, 12 minutes)
Milenda Buys, 54 years old, has lived in Cape Town for the past 26 years. During the 2014 year of assessment, Milenda got married and moved to Pretoria. Milenda sold the following assets on 31 July 2013, before moving to Pretoria.
House:
Milenda purchased the house in Cape Town on 1 June 1987 for R104 000. She lived in the house from the day that she purchased it until the date of sale. In 2004 she made improvements to the house at a cost of R560 000. The house was valued at R3 500 000 on 1 October 2001 and the time apportionment base cost of the house is R2 959 550. The house was sold for R6 750 000.
Furniture:
Milenda sold some of the furniture, as she was moving into a smaller house. The furniture was sold for R30 000. The original cost price of the furniture sold amounted to R40 000.
Assessed capital loss:
Loss brought forward from the 2013 year of assessment amounted to R5 500.
REQUIRED:
Calculate the taxable capital gain of Milenda Buys for the year of assessment ended 28 February 2014. You can assume she did not sell any other assets during the year of assessment.
Firstly the Furniture is personal use so there is no CGT for that
For the house
Proceeds are R 6 750 000
Base cost is R 104 000 however cgt only started in 2001 so we can't use that value
We have 3 options: 20% proceeds @ R 1 350 000
Valuation @ R 3 500 000
T.A.B. @ R 2 959 550
Assuming we want the best benefit we will take the valuation date value on October 2001.
Then we include the approved cost of R 560 00 after valueation date so BC is R 4 060 000
Calc
Proceeds 6 750 000
BC 4 060 000
Gain =2 690 000
Primary Residence rebate (2 000 000)
Net gain off =690 000
Then we take that X 33.3% for CGT of R230 000
All you are left with is your annual exclusion and also you prior years net loss to get your taxable gain
Don't quote me on any of this

It seems we have a resident tax expert. How much do you charge to do someone's tax?
Thats how I picture it being from the Free state to Kimberley.Just with tar roads.
