Ark. Code R. 26-51-412 - 2(a) (1997) - Exchange of Property for Property Not of Like Kind

When property is exchanged for other property not of a like kind, the property received in exchange shall be treated as the equivalent of cash up to the amount of its fair market value for the purpose of determining gain or loss. If no market exists in which all of the property so received can be disposed of at the time of exchange for a reasonably certain and definite price in cash, the exchange shall be considered a conversion of assets from one form to another form and no gain or loss shall be deemed to arise. The property received in exchange shall be taken into the records of the taxpayer at the same cost or assessed value as the property which was exchanged, including additions and minus any allowable depreciation and depletion.
