whether capital gain or business income
Asked by
Capital gains classification of share profits upheld where shares are capital assets, not stock-in-trade, and few transactions indicate investment.
Where shares constitute a capital asset rather than stock-in-trade, proceeds on transfer are treated as capital gains. Frequency and volume of transactions, historical treatment as investments, and absence of sustained trading support capital gains treatment. Acquisition with borrowed funds does not automatically convert investment into trading; gains remain capital gains when shares retain capital asset character. (AI Summary)
