Hi I have a question on the tax implications of Damages received in lieu of specific performance. The Contract was with a Developer to buy Land, signed by both parties. The Developer reneged on the contract and the seller is now suing for Damages for failure to complete the Contract. Will the damages received (hopefully) be liable to capial gains tax ?
