I am selling a property which was bought more than 40yrs back. when it was purchased, the sale deed mentioned "all land and building" for the sale consideration without a bifurcation of the individual amounts. subsequently, in all the balance sheets, depreciation has been claimed on building without the mention of land anywhere in the balance sheet.i would like to know if since we have not mentioned land anywhere in the balance sheet and claimed depreciation on building, is it automatically understood that depreciation has been claimed on land as well?also if i have to pay long term capital gains tax(at 20.6%)or short term capital gains tax(at a flat 30%)
