Tax Provision on Sale of Mother jewelry (after her death)


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
When selling inherited jewellery, especially items passed down over 50 years, the key question is whether to treat the profit as capital gains or exempt income. For items owned before April 1st, 2001, the cost of acquisition should be the fair market value on that date, which can be determined by a registered valuer. This value is then used to calculate the indexed cost for long-term capital gains tax purposes.
