[GNC] Fwd: Bonus share entry

[Christopher Lam]

I wouldn't book this gift of shares as a zero-cost purchase.

I'd book it as as a full-priced BUY transaction, but with corresponding
account from Income:Gifts rather than Asset:Bank.

Because I'm not accountant I don't know what is the tax treatment of this
gift and would ensure the Income:Gifts is recorded and reported, and let
them decide if tax is due.
