Corn Products doctrine

Read a random definition: clean energy

A quick definition of Corn Products doctrine:

The Corn Products doctrine is a tax principle that says a capital asset should only include things that are not related to a business's daily operations. This means that things like inventory, which are important for running a business, should not be considered capital assets. The doctrine was established in a court case called Corn Prods. Refining Co. v. C.I.R. in 1955.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Corn Products Doctrine is a tax principle that defines a capital asset as something that is not related to the day-to-day operations of a business. This means that inventory-related property that is essential to the business's operations is not considered a capital asset.

Example: Let's say a bakery owns a building that it uses to store its flour, sugar, and other ingredients. Under the Corn Products Doctrine, this building would not be considered a capital asset because it is essential to the bakery's day-to-day operations. However, if the bakery also owns a separate building that it rents out to another business, that building would be considered a capital asset because it is not related to the bakery's operations.

Explanation: The Corn Products Doctrine is important because it helps businesses determine which assets are subject to capital gains tax. By excluding inventory-related property that is essential to a business's operations, the doctrine ensures that businesses are not unfairly taxed on assets that they need to operate. The example of the bakery's buildings illustrates how the doctrine works in practice.
