Solution

The incorrect statement is c. The capital gain attributable to trade can be reduced by the annual exclusion of R40 000 available to natural persons. This is incorrect because the annual exclusion of R40 000 is not applicable to the portion of the gain that is attributable to trade. The annual exclusion is only applicable to the portion of the gain that is attributable to personal use.
