Capital gains on an assessee's mortgaged immovable property are computed on the full sale consideration, less admitted deductions, even where a secured creditor sells the property in recovery proceedings and appropriates all proceeds toward another borrower's debt. Appreciation in the owner's property value triggers the charge; a distress sale under an enforceable mortgage or attachment does not alter the computation. The owner's non-receipt of proceeds does not remove liability where the mortgage was voluntarily created with knowledge of default consequences. The capital gains assessment therefore remains sustainable.
