Accounting

On 1 May 2023, Vusi Maseko, purchased 1700 shares in a South African company listed on the JSE for R50 per share. Vusi is not a share dealer and his intentions are to hold these shares for investment purposes. As Vusi did not have enough money to purchase the shares, he borrowed R50000 from CapiBank, a South African bank, in order to purchase these shares. For the 2024 year of assessment he paid interest of R5400(which was correctly calculated) in respect of this loan.
Select the correct statement regarding the interest.
The interest will be deductible in terms of s11(a) read with s23(g)(general deduction formula)
The interest will be deductible in terms of s24J as Vusi is an issuer of an instrument
The interest will not be deductible in terms of s24J as it capital in nature
The interest will not be deductible in terms of s24J read with s23(f) as it is not in the production of income
The interest will be included in Vusi's gross income in terms of s24J as Vusi is a holder of an income instrument
None of the above
