Capital gains and losses
► Income tax can represent a substantial cost on your investments. Consider your after-tax return swhen evaluating investment options.
►If you’re selling capital property and a portion of the proceeds isn’t due until a later year, plan to have enough cash on hand to pay the taxes due each year during the reserve period.
► If the proceeds are received as a demand promissory note, a reserve will not be available, since the note is considered to be due immediately rather than in a later year.
