Khums: Khums on Profit from Selling a Khums-Paid Item

English:

Question #959:

I purchase, for example, a carpet for 10000 tumans with money on which khums has already paid. After a while I sell it for 15000 tumans. Is the appreciation of the khums-paid carpet, i.e., 5000 tumans, considered as income which is subject to khums?

Answer #959:

The appreciation (after subtracting the inflation) counts as business profit, of which any amount in excess of the annual expenditure is subject to khums.
