    small Capital Gain loss not allowed?

    I sold JIBAR linked unit trust funds and made a small loss of R742 when I sold. (I received quarterly interest on that and declared that interest)

    No I entered that CGT loss on efiling and hit the calculate button and it does not even appear anywhere and does not reduce my taxable income. Its a small impact I know, but it should still show or not. Any ideas?

    I don't know if this is still the case, but back when I made a huge capital loss (quite a few years ago now), it could only be offset against a capital gain and not ordinary income

    That would be unfair and typically SARS. They charge you for capital gain as part of your income, but its only a one way road.
