    <title>Vintage motorcar sale taxed as capital gain; personal effects exclusion requires proof of intimate personal or household use</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91693</link>
    <description>HC dismissed the appeal and affirmed ITAT&#039;s decision that the gain on the vintage motorcar is taxable as capital gains because the car did not qualify as a &quot;personal effect.&quot; The Court held that under the statutory definition of capital asset personal effects are excluded only if an intimate connection with personal or household use is established; mere capability or ownership of a car does not suffice. The Assessee failed to adduce evidence of personal use and relied on irrelevant factors considered by CIT(A). Material indicators (use of employer&#039;s car, absence of occasional use, non-parking at residence, no maintenance expenditure) supported ITAT&#039;s factual finding, and the substantial question of law was answered against the Assessee.</description>
