Indexation
• Indexation is the process that takes into
account inflation from the time taxpayer
bought the asset to the time taxpayer sell it.
The way it works is that it allows taxpayer to
inflate the purchase price of the asset to take
into account the impact of inflation. The end
result is that you get the benefit of lowering
your tax liability.
