Hi, can some sifu here explain to me what is the meaning for the answers? Thanks in advance

Question:- Do I need to declare profit from buying and selling shares as an income?

Answer:-
Whether the profit from buying and selling of shares is regarded as a taxable income would depend on the facts and circumstances of the case. If the transaction can be demonstrated as a realisation of a capital investment, it can then be regarded as a capital gain not subject to income tax. On the other hand, if the transaction is derived from an adventure in the nature of a trade, then the profit from buying and selling of shares would then be seen as a revenue gain subject to income tax.

I think what it means is that if your business is a share trading business whereby the proceeds are the main source of income to your business, then proceeds from sale of shares will be subject to income tax. However, if you are just buying and selling shares as personal investment, then proceeds from sale will be regarded as capital gain and not subject to income tax.
