Please tell what is the treatment of unabsorbed depreciation in case of more than 51% change in management of company within the preview of Section 79 of IT Act.
26 November 2014
According to Indian tax provisions, a closely held company is not eligible to carry forward and set off its business losses if 51% or more of its voting power in the year in which set-off is claimed is not “beneficially held” by the same shareholders who beneficially held 51% or more voting power on the last day of the previous year in which the loss was incurred. Change in more than 49% of the shareholding of a company will trigger section 79 of the Act.
