Nothing mention of ABL Shareholder's in Market update

Seems ordinary shareholders of ABL are no longer considered going forward. Little mentioned of Shareholders in yesterday's market statement update and subsequent curator interviews on radio/tv.

truth is ordinary shareholders are very last in line and should expect little or nothing

Anyone got any idea when we can take the negative CGT hit on our worthless ABIL shares? Do we have to wait for the "good bank" to relist? Sounds like that relisting could be 2 years out.

Whilst the share is suspended you cannot do anything.

Treat it as a trading position and you can write it down to the final 31c price for income tax. You could even raise a provision against the 31c...

If you are not a trader then a "disposal" has to take place for CGT to arise

Which is why I said "treat it as a trading positition." You can have a change of intent ("ipse dixit") - although SARS might frown on that under these circumstances. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

A change in intention from capital to trading is a deemed disposal at market value (section 12(3)). Therefore your scheme wont work...

The change of intent would obviously have to take place the collapse.... provided you have not submitted yet. Depends on your timing... the whole thing is a scheme anyway - and SARS has the power to reject it on that basis... so I highly doubt it would work making this an exercise in futility from the outset.
