You ask it, we have it answered!
Do you pay Capital Gains Tax on a deceased estate?
The executor of an 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 annual income for the financial year in which an individual passes away. SARS will then assess the calculation and the documentation, and confirm the amount of Capital Gain Tax due to be paid by the estate.
