Yes, but if the software was written by salaried employees then this work has already been taxed.
Say if you buy stocks, then sell them at higher price, one could argue that it's someone's work that made them cost more.
- impossiblefork 2y agoYes, which is why this only matters when the person in questions works in the company. In the Swedish system there's a rule whereby you accumulate something based on wages paid, and where you can thus avoid part of the sale counting towards income, provided that you've paid people so much in salaries that your work can be seen as a small part. What I'm sort of arguing for though, is to tax work less, so as to encourage it.
