GROSS INCOME
Why is income subject to tax?
   •   It is the best measure of taxpayer’s ability to pay tax
   •   It is an excellent object of taxation in the allocation of government cost
   •   Any inflow of wealth to the taxpayer that increases net worth from whatever source, legal or
       illegal
             ➢ Anything we received
             ➢ Should increase net worth; mere return of investment is NOT a gross income
   •   Include income from employment, trade, business or exercise of profession, income from
       properties, and other sources such as dealings in properties and other regular or casual
       transaction
Elements of Gross Income
   1. A RETURN ON CAPITAL that increases net worth
         • Return ON capital: TAXABLE INCOME
               ➢ Any amount you receive each year in exchange for making your initial
                   investment
         • Return OF capital: NOT GROSS INCOME
               ➢ Takes place when an investor receives a portion or entire investment back,
                   including income or dividends
   2. REALIZED BENEFIT
         • Realized Benefit
               ➢ Refund or reduction of tax liability resulting from the use of an item of loss,
                   deduction or credit in accordance with the ordering rules
               ➢ Something you own, you can dispose and use it in any ways that you can enjoy
                   the benefit of the income
         • Unrealized Benefit (gain/loss)
               ➢ NOT TAXABLE YET
               ➢ Value of an asset has increased or decreased, but it has not yet been sold
               ➢ Considered unrealized because it only exists on mere paper and does not
                   impact your taxes until you sell the asset for a profit or loss
               ➢ Paper income: Taxable only when realized
   3. NOT EXEMPTED by law, contract, or treaty
