Not saying you can't owe tax on it but isn't that unrealized profit?


"Unrealized profit" is a term used for investments or assets afaik, when the paper value has increased but the gains haven't been realized by selling.

For a business, revenue minus expenses in a given accounting period is considered profit. The only question is whether it gets treated as corporate profit or personal income.
