Determination of Chargeable Gain / Allowable Loss

  1. Chargeable gain
    If the disposal price of the asset exceeds the acquisition price, there is a chargeable gain.

  2. Allowable loss
    If the disposal price of the asset is less than the acquisition price, there is an allowable loss.

    An allowable loss shall be allowed as a deduction to reduce the chargeable gain of a person in the subsequent disposal of chargeable asset in the same year of assessment.

    Unabsorbed losses shall be carried forward to be deducted against chargeable gains from disposal of other assets in subsequent years of assessment.

    The first year of assessment for the deduction of unabsorbed losses commences in the year which there is a chargeable gain from the disposal of asset. Any remaining unabsorbed losses may be carried forward and restricted to a period of 9 consecutive years of assessment.

  3. No chargeable gain or allowable loss shall arise where the disposal price of an asset equal its acquisition price.
