Question juridique clé
Whether the sale proceeds qualified for deferral under replacement of business necessary investment property.
Solution extraite
No. The properties were not business-necessary investment assets at the time of sale; they had become circulating assets in a mixed real-estate trading and management business.
Motifs extraits
A mixed business may include both investment and circulating assets, but once properties are offered for sale they no longer serve the business on a lasting basis. For replacement deferral, a stricter nexus is required than for general business restructuring or depreciation.
