Capital Gains Tax Computation and Reporting for Companies

Disposals of property, shares and business assets trigger capital gains consequences that many African finance teams calculate incorrectly under pressure at year end. This course builds practical confidence in identifying disposal events, determining base cost, applying exclusions and rollover relief, and reporting gains accurately. Worked examples reflect common corporate transactions across the region, from asset restructures to intra group transfers.

What you will be able to do

  • Identify disposal events and assets that fall within the capital gains net.
  • Calculate base cost, proceeds and taxable gains for corporate disposals.
  • Apply exclusions, roll over relief and corporate reorganisation provisions correctly.
  • Distinguish capital gains from revenue receipts in borderline transactions.
  • Reconcile capital gains disclosures with the annual company tax return.
  • Document supporting workpapers that withstand revenue authority review.
