The industry categorizes domains as regular, premium, and ultra-premium, but such labels can be subjective in my personal opinion. Having been in the pharma domain market since 2009, I prefer a simpler view: there are good domains, bad domains, and exceptionally good domains—the ones that offer multiple advantages if leveraged correctly. To me, the 'status' of a domain really depends on the observer's perspective.

When buying and selling domains where no price is listed, it's standard to initiate a dialogue and discuss pricing. In this case, i'm not aiming for a million-dollar payoff; instead, a fair and reasonable price. The priority is finding a good fit — a serious and transparent company with whom we can establish a mutually beneficial agreement.

UNITED STATES

• Domain names are treated as intangible assets.
• The acquisition can be capitalized and amortized over typically 15 years, per IRS guidelines.
• Costs may be deductible in the year they are incurred, under certain conditions.

CANADA

• Costs for a domain name can also be capitalized and amortized.
• Domain names might fall under Class 12 with a Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) rate of 100% per year on a declining balance basis, and could potentially be classified as software.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

• If a domain is bought and sold within a short period as part of regular business operations, the financial gains or losses could be treated as ordinary business income or losses.

Consulting with a tax professional or accountant is essential due to the complexity and variability of tax laws.
