Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether selling a car, previously used for business and depreciated, is subject to capital gains tax after the business has been closed for six years. The consensus is that once the business is discontinued, the car effectively becomes a personal asset. Therefore, its sale is generally not treated as a depreciable asset for short-term capital gains tax purposes.
