53 views3 pages

Document Summary

Where the writer treats gains or losses on call options as being on income account and the option is exercised, the premium received should be brought into income when the option is exercised. If the option is closed out in the secondary market, the premium should be netted with the cost of acquiring the offsetting option and the resulting gain or loss accounted for at the time of the close out. Where the writer for a call option treats gains and losses as being on capital account, the rules in section 49 of the act apply at the time of the granting of the option. The writer of the put option is committed to purchase from the clearing corporation the underlying security specified in the option if the option is exercised by the holder. If the option is not exercised, the cost of acquiring the option should be deducted from income in the taxation year in which the option expires.
