The respondent treatment of income from sale of property as business income, instead of treating it as business income as specified I Kenya

Treating interest income as specific source of income (15)(7) (e) of the income tax act.

The appellant pleaded with the committee to find that property sale income was a capital transaction and therefore not subject to income tax

Ruling

the sixteen (16) resulted in business income and was therefore taxable

a gain/profit after considering all the applicable underlying costs.

The Appeal therefore lacks merit and is hereby dismissed.
