Article Abstract:
There are a number of ways in which shareholders can minimize their capital gains tax liabilities when a company is sold. Most importantly, the highest acquisition cost for the shares sold must be established. It is vital to take professional advice, as this ensures that an accurate estimate can be made of the tax payable, forming a basis for sound tax planning. There is most potential for maximizing the acquisition value of the shares sold when they have been held since Mar 31, 1982.
