commercial activity
Trade and transactions
Commercial activity is the buying, selling, and trading of goods and services for profit.
The term encompasses retail transactions, wholesale trade, advertising, and business operations generally.
Legal and zoning contexts distinguish commercial activity from residential, industrial, or nonprofit uses: The building is zoned for commercial activity.
Tax law often hinges on whether something qualifies as commercial activity versus a hobby or personal endeavor.
