Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting entry for profit made on selling shares purchased in October 2021. The correct treatment depends on whether the purchase and sale of equity is your main business activity or if the shares are considered an investment. If it's your main business, it's treated as business income; otherwise, it's a capital gain.
