Quick Summary
Capital employed in a business, typically defined as fixed assets plus working capital, is not considered a capital asset itself. Therefore, it doesn't directly generate capital gains in the same way that selling a capital asset does. However, when a business is sold as a going concern, any profit realised from that sale can be subject to capital gains tax.
There are two aspects : 1. whether the business is viable and under the natural circumstances termed as going concern. 2. it can be sold at profit as a going concern.
