Originally posted by Rich Weese:What about NOO properties.From my reading of it, it's an individual tax (not a business tax) that applies to investment income (where investment income includes capital gains, interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, passive income, etc) when the earner is considered a "high income earner".

Junk bonds and Canadian Oil Royalty Trusts, for example.
