in the scenario. [25 marks]
ANSWER:
Capital Gains Tax Principles Applicable in the Scenario

selling assets. This profit, known as the capital gain, is calculated by subtracting the base cost
of the asset from its selling price. The base cost encompasses the original purchase price plus
any enhancements that increase the asset’s value, but does not include regular maintenance
expenses.
2. Determination of Base Cost:

purchase price plus any capital improvements. Capital improvements are defined as
expenditures that significantly enhance the asset's value or extend its useful life.
