24 May 2007 Since furniture is for personal use it is outside the defination of capital asset , as such capital gains can not be levied . The entire receipt on sale of furniture for personal use on which no depreciation has been charged is capital receipt not liable for taxation .Refer to section 2(14) of the Income Tax Act.
