You ask it, we have it answered!
Do you pay Capital Gains Tax on deceased estates?
The executor of the estate is required to disclose and submit the Capital Gains Tax calculation together with proof of documentation to the South African Revenue Services (SARS) as part of the deceased individual’s annual income for the financial year in which they passed away. SARS will assess the calculation and documentation submitted, and confirm the amount of Capital Gains Tax to be paid by the estate.
