Die invloed van kapitaalwinsbelasting op boedelbeplanning en boedelbelasting en die toepaslikheid van trusts in boedelbeplanning na die inwerkingtreding van Kapitaalwinsbelasting

Kotze, Jan Harmse, Van Wyk, E. 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MAcc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Met die bekendstelling van kapitaalwinsbelasting in 2000 was belastingpligtiges en belastingadviseurs bekommerd oor die invloed daarvan op belasting- en boedelbeplanning. Om die volle impak daarvan te verstaan moet die werking van kapitaalwinsbelasting ondersoek word. Paragraaf 10 van die Agste Bylae definieer die belasbare kapitaalwinste vir die jaar van aanslag. Hiervolgens word kapitale winste in die hande van verskillende belastingpligtiges teen verskillende “koerse” belas. In die algemeen word daar na Paragraaf 10 verwys as die insluitingsartikel wat op kapitaalwinste van toepassing is. Aangesien slegs ‘n “gedeelte” van kapitaalwinste onderhewig is aan normale belasting is een van die grootste faktore in die huidige belastingomgewing steeds om te onderskei tussen inkomste van ‘n kapitale of nie-kapitale aard. Deur die toepassing van Paragraaf 10 word kapitaalwinste gerealiseer deur Trusts en Maatskappye teen hoër koerse belas, as in die geval van individue. Dit het tot gevolg dat belastingpligtiges en belastingadviseurs die gebruik van trusts as ‘n effektiewe hulpmiddel vir boedelbeplanning begin bevraagteken het. Die effektiewe belastingkoers van toepassing op kapitaalwinste gerealiseer deur individue is egter die laagste van al die verskillende belastingpligtiges. Wanneer ‘n individue te sterwe kom is sy boedel onderhewig aan boedelbelasting, wat ‘n verdere belasting las tot gevolg het. Indien ‘n trust effektief toegepas word tydens die opstel van ‘n boedelplan vir ‘n individu sal die bates van die trust nie onderhewig wees aan boedelbelasting nie. Deur die verskeie opsies wat beskikbaar is vir ‘n belastingpligtige, wanneer hy ‘n besluit moet neem watter beleggingsvoertuig hy moet gebruik vir die belegging, kan die effektiewe belastingkoerse vergelyk word. Deur die uitkomste van die verskeie opsies teenoor mekaar te vergelyk bewys dit dat indien ‘n trust korrek aangewend word, dit steeds as ‘n effektiewe hulpmiddel in ‘n boedelplan kan aangewend word. Tydens die uitvoer van die vergelyking van die verskillende opsies wat vir die belastingpligtige beskikbaar is, is die tydwaarde van geld buite rekening gelaat. Indien die lewensverwagting van ‘n individu in berekening gebring word kan die uitkoms van die vergelyking moontlik anders wees. Deur dit alles in ag te neem bevestig dit weereens dat elke individue se boedelplan uniek sal wees indien sy persoonlike finansiële omstandighede in ag geneem word. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With the introduction of capital gains taxation in 2000, taxpayers and their advisors feared the impact thereof on tax planning and estate planning. To determine the impact thereof the taxation of capital gains must be understood. Paragraph 10 of the Eight Schedule define the taxable portion of capital gains for the year of assesment. Paragraph 10 is also commonly known as the inclusion clause applicaple on capital gains. This application of paragraph 10 has the effect that capital gains realised by different types of taxpayers are taxed at different rates. Due to the application of paragraph 10 only a portion of the capital gain realised by the taxpayer is subject to normal taxation. Therefor one of the biggest concerns for taxpayers still is to determine if income are of a capital nature or not. The inclusion rate, according to paragraph 10, applicable on capital gains realised by trusts and companies is higher than that of a individual and gives rise to a bigger tax burden relating to capital profits for trusts and companies. Therefor taxpayers and their advisors doubt wether a trust could still be used as an effective tool for estate planning. The effective tax rate on caiptal gains for individuals is the lowest for all types of taxpayers. But when an individual dies his estate is subject to estate duty, which leaves an additional burden for an individual to take into account. When a trust is effectively utilised in preparing an estate plan for an individual, the assets of the trust should not be subject to estate duty. By evaluating the effective tax rates applicable to the different options available to a taxpayer when he needs to determine which investment vehicle to use when making an investment, a comparision can be made. By comparing the effective tax rates a conclusion can be drawn that a trust can still be used as an effective tool for estate planning when utilised properly. When the comparison was made the time value of money was ignored. If the life expectancy of a individual are taken into account the outcome could be different. When everything is taken into consideration the conclusion is that the estate plan for every individual is unique and determined by his or her personal financial circumstances.

Analysis of the interaction between the income tax and capital gains tax provisions applicable to share dealers

Smit, Jacobus Gideon 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MAccounting)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The interaction between the income tax provisions contained in sections 9B, 9C, 11(a) and 22 of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 (the Act), and the capital gains tax (CGT) provisions of the Eighth Schedule of the Act, are complex and share dealers should approach the tax consequences of share dealing profits with caution. The objective of the assignment was to ensure that the share dealing profits of share dealers (who transact on revenue account) are taxed correctly, with specific reference to the interaction between the aforementioned provisions. This was achieved by considering tax cases, the interpretation notes of the South African Revenue Services (SARS) and commentary of tax writers. Examples of share disposals were incorporated to illustrate that consistency is required between the calculation of profits for income tax and CGT purposes. The guidelines laid down by case law to determine the revenue nature of share disposals were investigated. It was concluded that share dealing profits which are designedly sought for and worked for, either as part of a business operation or not, are of a revenue nature and taxable as such. The method of identification of shares sold as trading stock is important when calculating the income tax profit, since it is used in order to determine both which shares are sold as well as the cost of the shares sold. It was concluded that the method of identification applied in terms of generally accepted accounting practice (GAAP) is generally also acceptable from an income tax perspective. Section 9C of the Act provides a share dealer income tax relief when a ‘qualifying share’ is disposed of. Any amount received or accrued as a result of the disposal of a qualifying share is deemed to be of a capital nature, regardless of the revenue intention of the share dealer. Prior to 1 October 2007, section 9B of the Act provided similar relief to the disposal of an ‘affected share’. It was concluded that section 9C of the Act has a wider scope of application compared to section 9B of the Act. Because the proceeds received on the disposal of affected or qualifying shares are excluded from gross income, the acquisition costs previously incurred and deducted in respect of such shares must be included in taxable income. It was determined that the amount to be included in income is the actual cost of such shares and not the opening trading stock value determined in terms of GAAP and claimed in terms of section 22(2) of the Act. It was concluded that the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method of identification should be applied to determine which affected or qualifying shares have been disposed of. From a CGT perspective, it was illustrated that a share dealer loses the opportunity to choose which identification method to apply and is obliged to also apply the FIFO method in calculating the CGT base cost of the shares. It is concluded that the Eighth Schedule of the Act should be amended to clarify that the FIFO method should be applied for CGT purposes where sections 9B or 9C of the Act find application. Only then will the tax profits of a share dealer be in sync with his or her cash benefit. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die interaksie tussen die inkomstebelastingbepalings vervat in artikels 9B, 9C, 11(a) en 22 van die Inkomstebelastingwet No. 58 van 1962 (die Wet), en die kapitaalwinsbelastingbepalings (KWB bepalings) van die Agtste Bylae tot die Wet is kompleks en aandelehandelaars moet die belastinggevolge van aandelewinste met omsigtigheid benader. Die doelwit van die werkstuk was om te verseker dat die winste van aandelehandelaars (wat aandele verkoop op inkomsterekening) korrek belas word, met spesifieke verwysing na die interaksie tussen die voorgenoemde bepalings. Dit is bereik deur die oorweging van hofsake, uitlegnotas van die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens en kommentaar deur belastingskrywers. Voorbeelde van aandeleverkope is gebruik om te illustreer dat konsekwentheid tussen die berekening van winste vir inkomstebelasting en KWB-doeleindes ‘n vereiste is. Die riglyne wat deur regspraak daargestel is om die inkomste-aard van aandeleverkope vas te stel, is ondersoek. Daar is bevind dat aandelewinste wat opsetlik nagejaag word en voor gewerk word, ongeag of dit deel van die bedryf van 'n besigheid is al dan nie, van ‘n inkomste-aard is en aldus belasbaar is. Die metode van identifikasie van aandele wat as handelsvoorraad verkoop word is belangrik by die berekening die inkomstebelastingwins aangesien dit gebruik word om vas te stel watter aandele verkoop is en wat die koste van die verkoopte aandele is. Daar is bevind dat die metode wat ingevolge algemeen aanvaarde rekeningkundige praktyk (AARP) toegepas is, gewoonlik ook vir inkomstebelastingdoeleindes toelaatbaar is. Artikel 9C van die Wet verskaf aan ‘n aandelehandelaar inkomstebelastingverligting met die verkoop van 'n 'kwalifiserende aandeel' deurdat die bedrag ontvang of toegeval geag word van 'n kapitale aard te wees, ongeag die inkomstebedoeling van die aandelehandelaar. Voor 1 Oktober 2007 het artikel 9B van die Wet soortgelyke verligting verskaf met die verkoop van n 'geaffekteerde aandeel’. Daar is vasgestel dat artikel 9C van die Wet 'n wyer toepassing het in vergelyking met artikel 9B van die Wet. Omrede die opbrengs ontvang met die verkoop van geaffekteerde of kwalifiserende aandele uitgesluit word van bruto inkomste, moet die vorige aankoopskostes wat voorheen ten opsigte van die aandele aangegaan en afgetrek is, by belasbare inkomste ingesluit word. Daar is bepaal dat die bedrag wat by belasbare inkomste ingesluit word, die werklike koste van die aandele is en nie die AARP openingswaarde van handelsvoorraad wat ingevolge artikel 22(2) van die Wet geëis nie. Daar is bevind dat die eerste-in-eerste-uit (EIEU) metode van identifikasie gebruik moet word om te bepaal watter geaffekteerde of kwalifiserende aandele verkoop is. Vir KWB doeleindes verloor 'n aandelehandelaar ook die geleentheid om te kan kies watter identifikasiemetode toegepas moet word. Hy of sy is verplig om die EIEU metode toe te pas in die berekening van die KWB basiskoste van die aandele. Daar word tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die Agtste Bylae van die Wet gewysig moet word om te bevestig dat die EIEU metode toegepas moet word vir KWB doeleindes waar artikels 9B of 9C van die Wet van toepassing is. Slegs dan is die belasbare wins van 'n aandelehandelaar in lyn is met sy of haar kontantvoordeel.

The Taxation on Capital Gains and the Stock Price Volatility / 資本利得稅與股價波動

薛雅月 Unknown Date (has links)
無 / This study establishes a model of the stock market involving the rational speculators to investigate whether the imposition of tax on capital gains can reduce the market volatility. The finding is that the effect of tax on the stock price volatility varies according to the types of shocks hitting the market. In the cases of the issuing shock and the dividend shock, raising the tax rate could be a way to stabilize the stock market. On the contrary, when the margin-rate shock occurs, it tends to magnify the effect of the shock and therefore increases the market volatility. Thus, it could be concluded that an increase in the tax rate may increase or decrease the stock price volatility depending on the type of unexpected shocks.

A case study analysis of the impact of the Davis Tax Committee's First Interim Report on Estate Duty on certain trust and estate planning structures used by South African residents

Loubser, Mari January 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (specialising in Taxation) Johannesburg, 2016 / The Davis Tax Committee released their First Interim Report on Estate Duty on 13 July 2015 which contained certain recommendations concerning the way trusts should be taxed which were to act as a deterrent against aggressive estate planning. This report also contained suggested changes to current estate duty legislation. Changes to these recommendations, yet to be published in a second report, were discussed in a webinar by Judge Dennis Davis in December 2015 and the 2016 Budget Review contained additional suggestions with regard to the taxation of trusts. This study constructs case studies to compare the effect of the various recommendations on total taxation and capital preservation in a scenario where assets are held in a South African trust over a period of time, with a scenario where such assets are kept in a South African tax resident’s personal estate. The case studies focus only on high-net-worth trusts and personal estates. The possible double taxation which may occur as a result of levying both estate duty and capital gains tax on death is also briefly considered. The case study results show the punitive effects of the proposed repeal of the s 4(q) estate duty deduction for inter-spousal bequests on the personal estate scenarios and show how several of the new proposals could result in effective capital tax rates in excess of the deemed maximum capital tax benchmark of 15%. This may result in more aggressive estate planning strategies being employed should such proposals be enacted. The report also concludes that the double taxation effect of both estate duty and capital gains tax levied on death is likely to be small on average, although individual high-net-worth estates may be subject to such double taxation in certain cases.

The corporate income tax effect of group restructurings in South Africa

Blew, Candyce 29 January 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (specializing in Taxation) Johannesburg 2015 / Due to the vast number of groups of companies having many subsidiaries that are no longer viable from an economic perspective or that no longer gain the tax benefit that they were first created to achieve, there are many group restructurings occurring. These restructurings are to potentially simplify the group structure as well as achieve the maximum tax benefit. This research report will analyse how groups may be restructured in line with the provisions of the Income Tax Act (‘the Act’) as it stands currently by looking back at how restructurings were dealt with in the past and how that has now evolved. The research discusses the corporate rollover relief provisions that may be applied in order to simplify the restructuring process which is commonly used in today’s practice. The research suggests that there are many different ways to restructure a group in order to gain the maximum amount of benefit from a tax perspective. Key Words: branch, capital gains tax (CGT), corporate income tax, corporate rollover relief, deregistration, foreign tax resident, general anti-avoidance rules (GAAR), liquidation, partnership, restructure, value-added tax.

The operating costs of taxing the capital gains of individuals : a comparative study of Australia and the UK, with particular reference to the compliance costs of certain tax design features

Evans, Christopher Charles, Law, Faculty of Law, UNSW January 2003 (has links)
This study investigates the impact of aspects of tax design on the operating costs of the tax system. The thesis focuses on the Australian and UK regimes for taxing the capital gains of individuals. It contends that the compliance burden faced by personal taxpayers and the administrative costs incurred by revenue authorities are directly influenced by the design of the capital gains tax ('CGT') regimes in each country. The study bridges the divide between theoretical analysis of CGT and empirical studies on tax operating costs. It uses a hybrid research design to test a series of hypotheses that emerge from a review of the literature and the experience of the researcher. It combines a technical analysis of the relevant Australian and UK legislative provisions (including an analysis of the policy and other background data that underpins those provisions) with empirical research on the views and experience of practitioners who are responsible for the operation of the legislation in the two countries. The results obtained from this combined methodology indicate that the operating costs of taxing capital gains in Australia and the UK are directly affected by the design of the legislative provisions. Moreover, the study outcomes indicate that operating costs in both countries are high (on a number of comparative measures), have not reduced over time, and are both horizontally and vertically inequitable. The research indicates that the primary factors that cause the high operating costs include the complexity of the legislation and the frequency of legislative change, together with record-keeping and valuation requirements. The thesis identifies specific legislative changes that would address operational cost concerns. These include the phasing out of the 'grandfathering' exemption together with the introduction of an annual exempt amount, and the rationalisation of business concessions in Australia; and the abolition of taper relief and its possible replacement with a 50% exclusion in the UK. More importantly, it seeks a more principled approach to the taxation of capital gains in both countries, and emphasises that legislative change can and should only be enacted with a full and clear understanding of the operating cost implications of that change.

資本利得課稅問題與所得分配 / Capital gains tax and income distribution

鄭岳旻 Unknown Date (has links)
本文以Sandmo引進勞動供給的租稅逃漏模型為基礎,以是否具有其他所得來區別社會上的富人或窮人,富人可以在勞動市場中投入勞動供給賺取勤勞所得,或是將勞動供給投注在以其他所得做投資的投資行為上,賺取資本利得;但是窮人只能將其勞動供給投注在勞動市場中賺取勤勞所得,在雙方決定勞動供給以追求效用極大化下,可決定彼此的所得差距。 由於所得稅具有所得重分配的功能,因此我們首先比較在不同所得稅制下的所得差距,以得知所得稅是否達成其重分配功能。結果是:僅課徵勤勞所得稅時的所得差距會大於未課稅時的所得差距,勤勞所得稅反而使所得情形惡化,因為富人可藉由移轉勞動供給的方式規避稅負;而同時課徵勤勞所得稅及資本利得稅後之所得差距會小於僅課徵勤勞所得稅時的所得差距,代表資本利得稅可有效改善所得分配惡化的現象。 政府除了可以用所得稅的手段改善所得分配外,也可以以移轉性支出的方式達到相同目的。第一個情況是假設目前僅課徵勤勞所得稅,所得差距情形惡化,當政府決定將全國所收取的勤勞所得稅做為移轉性支出平均分發給窮人時,會得到不一定可以改善所得差距惡化現象的結果,必須視窮人對消費和休閒的替代彈性,以及替代效果與所得效果的大小而定。第二個情況是假設目前同時課徵勤勞所得稅及資本利得稅,並以富人所支付的資本利得稅做為移轉性支出平均分發給窮人,此時的移轉性支出能夠進一步改善所得差距惡化的情形。由以上兩段可知,若政府要有效地改善所得差距惡化的情形,最好的辦法是課徵資本利得稅,並將資本利得稅做為移轉性支出的財源。 / In this paper we use a Sandmo’s (1981) type tax evasion model to discuss the effects of proportional income taxation on income distribution among the riches and the poor. The riches are different from the poor in that only the former have exogenous income which can be invested to obtain capital gains. Therefore, while the riches choose between allocating their time to make labor income or to make capital gains, the poor can only attribute their time to making labor income. The tax system treats labor income and capital gains differently. The income distribution among the riches and the poor is determined by the difference in total incomes. We first show that when only labor incomes are taxed, the income tax worsens the income distribution as compared to the income distribution when there is no income tax. In other words, an income tax system with preferential treatments on capital gains is detrimental to income distribution. This result is intuitive because the riches can switch their labor supply from making labor income to making capital gains for tax avoidance, while the poor do not get to do so. An income tax system is beneficial to income distribution when capital gains are taxed at the same rate as labor income. Second we discuss the role of income transfer program on the income distribution and show that if the government uses labor income tax as the only financial source for the transfer, the effect of such income transfers on income distribution is ambiguous. It is decided by the magnitude of the elasticity of substitution between consumption and leisure, and the net effect of the substitution and the income effects. To improve income distribution, the best scenario is to use tax revenues from capital gains as the financial source of income transfer.

Aktiebolags syn på fastighetsöverlåtelser genom köpehandling

Fröberg, Ida, Hellsten, Maria January 2015 (has links)
Olika aktörer på fastighetsmarknaden har svårigheter att värdesätta kommersiella fastigheter på grund av den minskade transparensen på marknaden. Den minskade transparensen är ett resultat av att färre fastigheter överlåts genom köpehandling idag. Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en ökad förståelse på fastighetsmarknaden och på så vis underlätta för olika aktörer på fastighetsmarknaden att genomföra marknadsanalyser. Målet är att utreda varför vissa bolag väljer att överlåta sina fastigheter med köpehandling istället för att överlåta fastigheter genom att paketera den i ett dotterbolag. Två rättsfall har studerats för att få rättsväsendets bedömningar. Genom rättsfallen kunde det konstateras att det råder en viss osäkerhet i hur beskattningen ska genomföras vid fastighetsöverlåtelser. Denna osäkerhet kan leda till att bolagen väljer att överlåta fastigheterna genom köpehandling där rättsläget är mycket tydligare.   För att utreda varför bolag väljer att överlåta kommersiella fastigheter genom köpehandling har en intervjustudie genomförts. Intervjustudien påvisade att bolagens val av överlåtelseform är beroende av de för- och nackdelar samt de skattemässiga konsekvenser som överlåtelsen medför. Intervjustudien visar även att enklare överlåtelseprocesser föredras av bolagen samt att de säljande bolagen vill uppnå en ekonomisk vinning genom överlåtelserna av fastigheterna.   Slutsatsen är att säljarens val av överlåtelseform är beroende på utfallet av kalkyleringsmetoden, köparens påverkan på överlåtelseformen samt hur komplicerad överlåtelseprocessen får vara. Den ökade transparensen som överlåtelser genom köpehandling bidrar till gör att de olika aktörernas marknadsanalyser på fastighetsmarknaden kan förenklas och bli mer tillförlitliga. Utöver detta avser regeringen att tillsätta en utredning angående skatteplanering i samband med då fastigheter paketeras i bolag. Beroende på vad regeringens utredning får för utfall kan antalet överlåtelser på fastighetsmarknaden ändras vilket skulle kunna vara intressant att undersöka i en framtida studie. / Different participants in the real estate market have difficulty in valuing commercial real estate due to reduced market transparency. The reduced transparency is a result of fewer properties being transferred by way of document of purchase today. The purpose of this study is to create a better understanding of the property market and be able to provide market participant with an improved understanding how to analyze this market. The objective is to investigate why some companies choose to sell properties by way of document of purchase instead of transferring the property by using a limited company structure. Two legal cases have been reviewed for judicial assessments. The court cases analysis showed the degree of turnover of property transfers can lead to uncertainty in terms of possible tax implications. This uncertainty might lead to companies choosing to transfer properties by way of document of purchase due to the much clearer legal position.   An interview study has been conducted to investigate why companies transfer commercial properties through the use of purchase document. The study showed that companies’ choice of transfer form is dependent on the advantages and disadvantages of the form together with possible tax implications. The interview study also showed a simple transfer process is preferred together with financial gains when selling properties.   The conclusion is that the seller’s preferred choice of transfer form is dependent on the outcome of the project models, the purchasers’ impact and how complicated the transfer process may be. The increased level of transparency achieved by using document of purchase makes it easier for participants in the real estate market to conduct market analysis and also to make the results more reliable. In addition to this the Swedish government intends to launch an investigation into potential effects of tax planning in connection with the use of limited corporate structures. The number of transferals in the property market could potentially change dependent on the outcome of the government’s investigation and if so this could be an interesting topic for a future study.

資本利得課稅之探討 / Explore the Taxation of Caiptal Gains

程惠美, Chen, Hui Mei Unknown Date (has links)
本研究嘗試就資本利得是否為經濟學上的所得、是否為稅法上的課稅所得及世界各國稅制上對資本利得之對待等三方面加以剖析與說明。 首先,經濟學上國民所得之概念,產出當等於所得,此為供給面與需求面恆等式。因此在證券市場買賣證券,只是屬於所有權的移轉而已,對產出沒有影響,意味著所得沒有增加,故資本利得非為經濟學上所稱之所得。 其次,在文獻回顧上,提供英國、德國及美國學者在時間沙河過程中,探求應納稅所得額概念之思想形成的脈絡足跡,且歸納「泉源週期說」、「勞務流通說」及「淨資產增加說」三種稅法上的所得定義主流學說。資本利得不具規則性及重發性而排除於「泉源週期說」課稅所得中;非消費能力的表現亦不為「勞務流通說」所接受不將其視為所得;唯獨「淨資產增加說」的所得概念包括了已實現及未實現的所得額總和。 第三,本文研究世界各國對資本利得之租稅處理,包括英國、美國、新加坡、香港及澳大利亞等五個國家。香港及新加坡基於特殊目的,給予具有鼓勵性質之免稅措施。英國採分類所得稅制單獨課徵,而美國及澳大利亞則併入個人綜合所得稅中徵收。各國對資本利得不僅只就已實現之利得課徵,而且大多採取輕稅簡政的措施。
