The Financial Wellness Coach: How to cut estate duty and avoid heavy tax
Although it may seem like a good idea to transfer assets before death to reduce estate duty, doing so can actually result in higher tax costs. Question: My father is a widower and has just been diagnosed with cancer. The prognosis is not good and I'm helping him to tidy up his affairs to make the inheritance process easier. I am his only child. His assets consist of a house worth R4-million and various share investments worth R8-million. To reduce his estate duty bill, we are thinking of transferring the house to his only grandchild while he is still alive. advertisement Don't want to see this? Remove ads Does this make sense? Are there any other factors we should consider? Answer: Although it may seem like a good idea to transfer assets before death to reduce estate duty, doing so can actually result in higher tax costs during your father's lifetime. This is because of: • Immediate payment of capital gains tax (CGT) If your father transfers the house to his grandchild now, he will trigger a CGT event. He will need to pay tax on the growth in value of the property from when he bought it until the date of transfer. This could be substantial, especially if the house has appreciated significantly. • Donations tax Donating the house (valued at R4-million) to the grandchild will also trigger donations tax at 20% on the value above the R100,000 annual exemption. This means that your father will have to pay donations tax of R780,000. • Transfer costs The transfer will also incur costs such as conveyancing attorney fees, deeds office charges and transfer duty. As you can see, this approach would result in a high immediate tax burden (CGT plus donations tax plus fees) without actually reducing the tax payable, as donations tax is charged at the same rate as estate duty (20%). Additionally, the value of these taxes is paid during your father's lifetime, thereby reducing the capital available for investment and growth. advertisement Don't want to see this? Remove ads Alternative strategy An alternative solution that is worth considering is the following: Your father's estate is worth R12-million. He will get the R7-million estate duty abatement. This means that R5-million of his estate would be dutiable, which, at a rate of 20%, means that he would be paying R1-million in estate duty. One of the few options is to make use of disallowed retirement contributions. In short, if you buy a retirement annuity (RA) that is worth more than the lesser of R350,000 or 27.5% of your taxable income, the excess contributions are classed as disallowed contributions. If you buy a living annuity with that money and your beneficiaries elect to receive the proceeds of the annuity when you die, this amount will not trigger estate duty. Consider this scenario Your father buys an RA for R5-million (which is above the allowable deduction threshold); The excess contributions are classified as disallowed for tax purposes; He then converts this RA into a living annuity; and If your child (his grandchild) is listed as the beneficiary of the living annuity and chooses to receive the benefit as an income stream, no estate duty will be payable on this amount upon your father's death. This will result in the following: A saving of R1-million in estate duty, as the living annuity falls outside the estate for estate duty purposes; A saving of R200,000 in executor fees, as the living annuity has a beneficiary and need not be dealt with by the executor; The income paid to your child will be taxable in their hands, but since they will probably have little to no income while still young, the tax will be minimal, if any; and This structure can fund education, living expenses or long-term income. This is a fantastic way for your father's legacy to live on. Although it is never nice to think about death, a bit of planning can make a material difference to the amount of money that leaks from an estate when there is a death. advertisement Don't want to see this?

Just one Gupta property finds a buyer at Saxonwold auction
Furniture from two of the houses was sold as a separate lot per property. The loose assets of house No 5 were sold to an in-person bidder for R100,000, while the furniture of house No 7 went for R60,000. The furniture for house No 3 was not sold. Park Village Auctions disposal manager Graham van Niekerk described the outcome as 'exactly what we expected'. He said despite house No 3's rundown condition, it had more redevelopment potential. 'You can see for yourself the scope to upgrade it or start from scratch. The other two are very unique and difficult properties,' said Van Niekerk. He attributed the lack of interest in houses No 5 and No 7 to several factors: high municipal valuations, poor structural condition, restrictive zoning (residential 1) and the stigma associated with the Gupta name. Outside the compound, a small group of people protested, demanding justice and accountability for the family's alleged role in state capture. 'This is not the first time we have protested,' said Li Gula, from the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) 'We want the Guptas to come back and account. The NPA is moving far too slowly. The Zondo commission cost taxpayers millions and yet justice still drags on.' Lazarus said the auction was part of an effort by business rescue practitioners to open the process to public scrutiny. 'There is a stigma around these properties, but the most important thing is transparency. Everyone had the same opportunity to bid,' he said. Lazarus acknowledged that properties No 5 and 7 were always going to be tough sells. 'They are in serious disrepair and need major investment to restore. The business rescue team will now explore alternative methods to dispose of them, including closed tenders.' The auction may not have cleared all assets but it opened a rare public window into what remains of the once-powerful family's South African empire now reduced to crumbling mansions and unresolved questions.

[IN PICS] Only one property at Gupta brothers' Saxonwold compound auctioned off
But it was only the three-bedroom house with a municipal value of R5.5 million that was successfully auctioned. "Final time at R3.3 million," the auctioneer said. The furniture that was used by the Guptas in the two luxurious properties was sold for R100,000 and R65,000, respectively.
