In General Taxable Income • The essential difference between capital and income is that capital is a fund; and income is a flow. Capital is wealth, while income is the service of wealth. • Property is a tree, income is the fruit. Labor is a tree, income is the fruit. Capital is a tree, income the fruit. • Income means profits or gains. (Madrigal v Rafferty) • Income may be defined as the amount of money coming to a person or corporation within a specified time, whether as payment for services, interest or profit from investment. o A mere advance in the value of property of a person or a corporation in no sense constitutes the ‘income’ specified in the law. Such advance constitutes and can be treated merely as an increase in capital. (Fisher v Trinidad) • Cash dividends is taxed as income because it has been realized/received, while stock dividends is not taxed as income because it is merely inchoate as it is a mere anticipation of income (it becomes income once you sell it). o One is an actual receipt of profits; the other is a receipt of a representation of the increased value of the assets of a corporation. (Fisher v Trinidad) • When dealing with money or property, the questions you should ask are: o Is this capital or is this income? o Has it been realized/received or is it merely inchoate?
