Ordinary Income 1. Californian Copper Syndicate Ltd v Harris (Surveyor of Taxes) (1904) 5 TC 159 This case is associated with the implication of tax laws over the profit amount with the sale of land. With the sale of land profit is that amount that get realised over and above of the amount of its acquisition. But as per this case the excessive amount with the sale of land didn't get assessed as it get related with the carrying in or out of investment made by business owner. This situation leaves a question that the excessive amount over the sale of land is termed as earned profit by the individual or association with the intention of buying and selling of lands and securities or not. If it is considered as profit it is considered for taxation purpose (Khoury, 2011). If the excessive amount earned is not associated with the business prospective or it didn't get earned with the help of the speculation then the excessive amount earned with the sale of land didn't get termed as assessable for taxation purpose. In this case California Copper Principle recommend twofold test applicability for the purpose of determining the nature of business as well as earned profit that help the business in indentifying the implication of income tax. That results into two considerations for the purpose of the separating profit taxability on the basis of the available circumstances and other facts. The court didn't make inclusion of the capital profit for the purpose of taxation as it is the increased value of the land after the purchase date till the date on which land get sold out. This activity is related to the investment purpose not related to the running business activities or speculation activities (Khoury, 2011).
