In the U.K. and Australia, capital gains tax is paid on realisation of assets and the basis for determining the tax allows for inflation indexation of the cost base of the asset. Capital gains tax payments under these circumstances are shown to resemble those of a complex option. A number of theoretical approaches to the valuation of this option are discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":81715,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Institute of Actuaries","volume":"119 1","pages":"45-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0020268100019685","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56678292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

D. Wilkie, which had been used by a number of actuaries for various purposes, but had not itself been discussed at the Institute. This is the Report of that Working Party. First, the Wilkie model is described. Then the model is reviewed, and alternative types of model are discussed. Possible applications of the model are considered, and the important question of ‘actuarial judgement’ is introduced. Finally the Report looks at possible future developments. In appendices, Clarkson describes a specific alternative model for inflation, and Wilkie describes some experiments with ARCH models. In further appendices possible applications of stochastic investment models to pension funds, to life assurance and to investment management are discussed.","PeriodicalId":81715,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Institute of Actuaries","volume":"119 1","pages":"173-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0020268100019879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56678514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
