Discounted bonds

Discounted bonds

Postby Chanmuganathan on Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:48 pm

A trust sold a bond which bought in secondary market with discount.

Is the profit/discount received subject to capital tax or income tax?

Example
A bond (off shore) was bought a year ago for £9,500 discounted value and redeemed the face value of £10,000 in secondary market.
Is this £500 interest or gain?

Please not the bonds are paying interest separately.
