Taxes on holding gains

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Taxes on capital gains are treated as taxes on income and deducted from income while the tax base (the realized holding gains) is not included in the SNA definition of income. Is this a contradiction that should suggest alternative treatments or should the SNA treatment remain the same?
