When company distributes assets on liquidation it shall be liable to CG tax on the assets transferred and for this full value of consideration shall be the fair market value of asset on the date of distribution. Further no CDT required to be paid by co. upto the amount of reserves and surplus as shareholders shall be liable to tax for such distribution u/s 2(22)(e).
