why we do indexation at the time of calculating long term capital gain ?
22 April 2012
Capital gain arises when the net sale consideration of a capital asset is more than the cost. Since “cost of acquisition” is historical, indexation i.e, the concept of indexed cost allows the taxpayer to factor in the impact of inflation on cost. Consequently, a lower amount of capital gains gets to be taxed than if historical cost had been considered in the computations.
So indexation is a benefit given to taxpayer to account for impact of inflation.
