Unrealised mark-to-market gains on a forward commodity derivative were held not taxable before actual accrual or maturity because income must have really accrued to be brought to tax under mercantile accounting.

The deletion of the addition was upheld, with the clarification that tax consequences on maturity would follow in accordance with law.
