If scenarios in par12(2) occur – TP deemed to dispose assets at MV

Scenarios of Deemed Disposals
1. Non-resident -> Resident – Base cost = MV par 12(2)(a)(i)

- Except immovable property in SA s9H(4)
- Disposes of interest in immovable property – on date of emigration
3. Asset of a non-resident – becomes asset of PE in SA -> BC = MV par12(2)(b)(i)
4. Asset ceases to be asset for PE in SA – Proceeds = MV, calculate CG/CL par12(2)(b)(ii)
5. Capital Asset becomes Trading Stock par12(2)(c) – Proceeds = MV, calculate CG/CL
- Trading Stock acquired at MV – s22(3)(a)(ii) CP=MV for s22(2)(b) deduction

- S22(8) recoupment
