  • 'regular' if it repeated at reasonably close intervals. The intervals do not need to be fixed.

A 'reasonable expectation' is more than a possibility, risk or chance of the event occurring. A reasonable expectation of profit or gain is determined by whether, looking at all the circumstances, a reasonable person would conclude that there is a reasonable expectation of profit or gain. For the purposes of determining whether, objectively, there is a reasonable expectation of profit or gain, one factor to consider is that particular kinds of enterprises may take longer to become profitable and may make an overall loss initially.

'Profit or gain' refers to concepts commonly used in the commercial world and can encompass a 'profit or gain' of an income or capital nature.
