John Peter is aware that there is no Capital Gains tax in Barbados. He decided to buy a large piece of land. The land was hilly, so he blasted it to make it flatter, installed a soak away so the water does not settle on the land, and made several roadways for ease of access. After 6 months of purchasing the land, he subdivided the land and sold it to 30 separate persons making a large gain. Advise Mr. Peter whether the gains are taxable in Barbados. Appropriate case laws should be referenced in your assessment.
