In the case where a corporation concluded a contract for the transfer of commodities for short-term trading prescribed in Article 61, paragraph (1) of the New Corporation Tax Act in a business year prior to the business year of the amendment (meaning the first business year starting on or after the Effective Date; hereinafter the same applies in this Article) and delivers those commodities for short-term trading in a business year on or after the business year of the amendment, the capital gain or capital loss prescribed in that paragraph pertaining to the transfer is included in the amount of gross profit or the amount of deductible expenses for the business year containing the date of the delivery, notwithstanding the provisions of that paragraph; provided, however, that this does not apply to a transfer for which the corporation concluded the contract in a business year prior to the business year of the amendment and included the amount equivalent to the capital gain or capital loss prescribed in that paragraph pertaining to the transfer in the amount of gross profit or the amount of deductible expenses for the business year containing the date on which the contract was concluded.
