16 May 2011 Land is not depreciable assets however building is depreciable assets. On depreciable assets the gain will always be short term and for non depreciable assets it will depend upon the period of holding. if more than 3 years its long term.

A/cing entry will be:-
Bank account dr.
To Land (Book value)
To building(Book Value)
To profit on sale of assets(diff between book value and sales reliasation.)
