CB 29: Disposal of minerals

You could also call this:

“Money from selling minerals counts as income, regardless of land ownership”

If you get money from selling minerals that you took from land, that money is counted as your income. This rule applies even if you don’t own the land where you found the minerals. It doesn’t matter if the land belongs to you or someone else - the money you make from selling the minerals is still considered your income.
