02 May 2014 If we sell a business asset then we calculate capital gains. However when in the business a block of asset ceases to exist and if sale consideration is more then we again charge short term capital gain so there can be charge of capital gains twice can someone please clarify the same?

02 May 2014 I think you are confusing Book Profits & Total Income as per Income Tax. In books, short term capital gain on sale of fixed assets will appear & added to profits. While computing Total Income, Capital gain will be subtracted from this business income & will be taxable under the head capital gains. No point of double taxation in it.

02 May 2014 under income tax act if any block bal in minus due to tfr of assets during the year then you have to pay short term capital gain.

and if bal. is not in block then yuou cannot charge depreciation during the year.
