Question

Part A
John Peter is aware that there is no Capital Gains tax in Barbados. 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

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
Advise Mr. Peter how these gains would be treated for tax purposes in Barbados.
Appropriate case laws should be included in your answer.
