What's a capital distrubution (in accounting) and how is it taxed?

I would assume that you have received a K-1 from a partnership or S-corp that has a line that says "capital distribution" (line 16D on an 1120S K-1 and line 19 on a 1065 K-1) and that is why you are asking. The capital distribution will not be taxed as long as it is under your basis in the entity - if it exceeds basis it is taxed as capital gains or ordinary income based on the holding period. This "exceeding basis" is a more complicated issue and most likely requires that you contact a tax PROFESSIONAL (not a tax preparer in a nationwide tax prepr chain). Your taxable amount on a K-1 is made up of the other lines "flowing through" to you. If this is not the scenario of your question post more details and we can answer better.

What country are you in and more details please.
The Revenue and Customs website should be able to help you, if you are in the UK.
If it set up correctly, a capital distribution will be subject to capital gains tax instead of income tax.

This will give you access to the annual exemption (currently 拢7,800 I think) and also taper relief. It is likely that the underlying shareholding will be treated as a business asset so the taper relief after two years is 75%.
