Questão jurídica principal
Whether the gain from the sale of the SA shares belonged to private or business assets for federal tax purposes.
Decisão extraída
The shares were business assets; the capital gain was taxable as income from self-employment.
Fundamentação extraída
The SA was closely linked to the taxpayer's real-estate activity and to the SNC restructuring; the participation economically complemented his commercial business, and the objective circumstances outweighed the private-asset characterization.
