   Certain type of capital investment income may be taxed under the partial income method (so called half-income method) upon application of the taxpayer and is valid for another 4 years following the year in which the application was made. According to the Supreme Tax Court, the specific preconditions laid down in Section 32d (2) Income Tax Act, e.g. for minimum ownership, only have to be met in the first year of application; a failure to meet the requirements in the following four assessment periods is not harmful.
