What is the difference between Capital Gains Tax and normal tax?

Posted 8 April 2013

If a company's main activity is buying and selling properties, will they pay Capital Gains Tax?

If the main purpose of the company is to buy and sell properties then it would be treated as trading and not capital and therefore subject to corporate tax at 28% and not the capital gains rate.
