I bought a land in the year 2000 and constructed some commercial building over it amounting 10 lakhs. Same has been capitalised in Business books.As land is non depreciable and building is depreciable. Building is coming under block with other buildings. Now i sold the same land & building for Rs 42Lakhs. How it will be treated in Capital gain head.

Manisha - you should go for apportionment of sale consideration
- Gain arising on Transfer of Land will be treated as Long Term. - Lower Rate of Tax i:e 20% - Benefit of Indexation will be available - Gain on Land can be claimed exempt u/s 54EC &/or 54F - Gain on Sale of Building will be treated as Short Term & no benefit of indexation will be available
This tax planning is only possible if your business is in the capacity of Individual or HUF
