Exhibit 5
Memo from Thabo Molefe
From: Thabo Molefe
To: Tax Manager
Subject: Capital gains
I have forwarded an email I received from our client, please respond to his request:
Attachment:
I know that you are currently dealing with our tax affairs, and wondered if you could help us with some advice.
The business is doing well this year; we want to expand by investing some money. I own a block of four offices, and I am happy to sell one of them so that I can put some money into the business, but I am worried that I will need to pay a lot of tax on any money that I make.
I bought the offices in October 2008 for P3000000 and the biggest one has a market value of about P1800000. The other three are worth about P4200000 between them. These offices are business assets- I dont know if this is relevant information.
I would therefore be grateful if you could explain to me what the tax implications of selling the biggest office for P1800000 would be so that I can make an informed decision on the best thing to do.
Much appreciated.
