I'm interested though the whole process might spill over to January and possibly beyond. If that is done, does it mean that I'll never pay the 5% tax on CG?


Does this 5% thing apply to land ownership transfer?

If you inherited, you pay the 5% if you sell. You can also let your kids inherit, no CGT payable.

Brokers are playing hard ball!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I cannot also cooperate to pay this unless its deducted before it reaches me or iam followed by kra to my house at gunpoint...Rwanda is very keen to take advantage of our taxation stupidity and woo investors to their house by removing taxes which hinder investment

Habari ndiyo hiyo!!!

They will be forced to contract (and pay) the brokers to be collecting agents!

Or they can force in some regulations that forces the broker to collect and forward like happens with VAT and PAYE.

I sold a small chunk of my Britam shares and CGT wasn't part of the discussion. Unless kra puts a knife on my neck on Wednesday when I'm getting my cash,hii kitu silipi! How can I pay CGT when my broker doesn't have records of my buying price and I'm also suffering from a memory lapse?

Not so fast
Quote:
“A stockbroker who conducts the transfer of investment shares on behalf of a transferor shall collect and remit tax to the commissioner in accordance with section 35(5),” reads paragraph 18 of the eighth schedule.
