Some excellent advice.

Buying your first home should be an exciting time but you also need to be prepared for what happens after you’ve signed on the dotted line, made your first payment, and moved into your very own home.

Primary residence taxes have been a contentious issue for a long time. In the CGT legislation, limited relief is provided for profits made on the sale of primary residences. Generally, the first R2 million of a capital gain or loss on disposing of a primary residence is disregarded under the said legislation. If the primary residence is sold during the 2022 assessment year for R2, 5 million, the first R2 million is excluded. The remaining balance of R500 000 will be subject to CGT.

In addition, if you dispose of your primary residence for less than R2 million, you may disregard any capital gain on the sale. As a result, you do not need to determine the base cost of the residence. Under certain circumstances, this rule is not available, such as if you weren't ordinarily residing in the residence or had used it partly for business.
