Transfer duty is payable on properties above R1,100,000 on a sliding scale from 3% to 13%.

Capital gains tax applies when you sell. The first R2 million gain on your primary residence is excluded. For investment properties, 40% of the gain is included in your taxable income.

This calculator shows returns before income tax on rental income and before CGT on sale.
