Mixed operational and investment property holdings
A Singapore-incorporated company acquired properties over time for its own expansion and separately bought properties solely for investment. Corporate restructuring would transfer them to related Company B. Purchases were financed by mortgages and mortgages-in-escrow. No supplementary work made them more marketable. Apart from earlier unit sales because one building lacked enough operational space, A had not disposed of other properties.
Reasoned capital classification
The 1 April 2024 summary applies section 10(1) and finds the transfer capital. The reasons list acquisition intention, holding period, frequency of similar A transactions and the circumstances of the related-party sale. Financing is part of the facts; the listed reasoning does not say a mortgage makes a disposal revenue, nor does it make related-party restructuring automatically capital.
Use the facts, not a blanket precedent
The summary refers to IRAS’s general trade-determination factors. Only the applicant and specified transaction are bound; the Comptroller need not treat another similar transaction identically. Published summaries are not revised for later law or interpretation changes. No exact holding-period threshold or quantified cost is disclosed.
