Abstract
The nature of money received as compensation for the early termination of a contract has been determined by Case Law to be of capital or revenue nature to depend on the prevailing circumstances of each case. This paper evaluates Case Law and the principles contained therein which individually or cumulatively provide the guidelines of what presiding Judges have considered make compensation received from the termination of a contract to be of a capital or revenue nature. The cases under study will be those from South African courts as well as other jurisdictions which have had similar cases brought before its courts.
