Part C
John Peter is aware that there is no Capital Gains tax in Jamaica. He decided to buy a large piece
of land. The land was hilly, so he blasted it to make it flatter, installed a soak away so the water
does not settle on the land and made several roadways for ease of access. Six months after he
purchased the land, he subdivided the area and sold it in lots to 30 separate persons, thereby
making a large gain.
Required

laws should be included in your answer.
