Does money earned from investments count as income?

[Nightmare]

Normally, there is always a portion of cash or left after any investment but it's doesn't really count as am income.
Yeah, investment is a long term savings, no doubt about that but the money left or remaining is not actually conisidered as an income but instead as profits.
As an investor, there is always profits for you after any kinds or types of investment you run.
These days, a lot of workers and some investors usually misquoted this with capital... Yeah, capital is different from your profits. How do I mean?
What is your capital?
Capital is simply the money or funds you used to start up a business or an investment while profits are funds or money left or remaining after an investment
The above is simply how investment terms works and what they simply implies or means.
Why is profits not consider as income?
Profits aren't really as income because of the quantity.. Yeah, profit's are little and small amount of money , so it's actually not considered as an income because you can't really make use of it , as a nornal income.
Thus, income is money received or gotten from any work or job , and investment are majorky platforms or investment houses but not a job.

Yes, it does. The money you earn from investing comes from a source outside of your personal income and is classified as "capital gains" or "interest income". Investment income is considered by the IRS to be taxable personal income. So, if you have earned £10,000 in capital gains in the current tax year, that's £10,000 of your earnings which are already subject to tax and any dividends or interest would be taxed at this level too.

For example, let's say you owe no tax on your salary but do owe capital gains tax on 10% of your investment interest. You thus owe tax on interest income of £1,000.

However, if you have a lower personal allowance (£10,000 in the above example) and an investment income of £10,000 capital gains or interest, you would pay tax on the full amount (ie £20,000), not just 10% of it. The other £9,900 would be exempt from tax.

You should have a higher personal allowance if your earnings come from investments rather than from employment or self-employment . If you don't have this higher allowance your pension provider will withhold different amounts of income depending on whether your income is "earned" (usually employment or self-employment) or "unearned" (usually investment).

It depends on the country you live in , each country has different tax laws. In some cases, the income from investment can be credited when it is actually received, but in most cases, the income is credited on accrual to the account. For some investment options, if the income is very small, the income is directly reinvested, it is not paid out, yet it is considered as income in the year it is declared or available for tax purposes.
