ONE OF MY CLIENT HAS GST REGISTRATION FOR TRADING BUSINESS. HE PURCHASED AN AGRICULTURAL LAND 10 YEARS BACK NOW HE WANT'S TO DEVELOP THE LAND SELL PLOTS TO PEOPLE. HE RECEIVED SALE AMOUNT IN CASH. NOW MY QUERY IS 1. WHAT ARE THE EXPENSES MIGHT BE INCURRED TO DEDUCTING BY CAPITAL GAIN 2. IF HE DOES MADE CASH EXPENDITURE WHILE DEVELOPING THE LAND WILL BE OR WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR DEDUTIONS. 3. DOES HE NEEDS TO OBTAIN GST REGISTRATION FOR SALE PLOTS. 4. JUST HE HAS TO PAY CAPITAL GAIN ON PLOTS. 5. HOW TO DETERMINE EXPENSES FOR EACH PLOTS BECAUSE MORE THAN 50 PLOTS WILL BE DEVELOPED AND THIS CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR MIGHT BE SOLD 10 TO 15 PLOTS. 6. REMAINING WILL BE SOLD NEXT FINANCIAL YEAR.
NOW HOW TO CALCULATE CAPITAL GAIN AFTER DETERMING EXPENSES INCURRED.
