No, the person or car dealer who's business is selling cars is subject to ordinary income tax ( not capital gains ) BUT lets make this more interesting. Jay Leno a multi-millioniare who makes his living as the Tonight Show Host in USA has invested m…

Werner Reisacher replied to Naveen Ramzan's discussion 'Capital gains tax'

The way you describe the person's activity, that person is a dealing in cars. In other words, his activities are of a commercial nature and not that of an investor. Dipu is correct, unless the local tax laws indicate differently, trading in goods ar…

Brent Wheeler replied to Naveen Ramzan's discussion 'Financial Statement Analysis'

Yes Sacha... we went round this "rule" based stuff!!! I guess the killer is that we generally used to value preferred stock as if it was debt and it was priced pretty much like that too.

Brent Wheeler replied to Naveen Ramzan's discussion 'Financial Statement Analysis'

Yes Terri that is usually the case but many have provisions whereby the instrument is redeemable "redeemable specified preference shares" are / were common in NZ. The ability to redeeem (or for the company to force redemption (outside of break up) e…

Sachidanand (Sacha) Singh replied to Naveen Ramzan's discussion 'Financial Statement Analysis'
