Summary: The tax treatment depends on whether the assets are classified as stock-in-trade (taxed as Business Income) or fixed assets (taxed as Capital Gains). If considered a fixed asset, the container (as a depreciable asset) is typically governed by Section 50, resulting in Short-Term Capital Gains, while the land is treated as a separate capital asset. A professional review of your books is recommended to ensure correct classification.
