Regarding Capital gain of NRI

This query is : Resolved 

19 December 2024 Respected Colleagues,
One of my known NRI , now UK citizen having property in india earned rental and filing ITR under income from house property under NRI Status,
Now my first ques is, if same person sold residential property and then reinvest in residential property as per sec 54 of IT act is eligible to claim benefit of sec 54 to exempt capital gains?
Second ques is, if same person without reinvest in property repatriate funds to foreign after payment capital gain tax, then how much % of tax on cap gains with surcharge & HEC?
Third ques is, if person earned income from rental and gains from property sale in india (Already disclose in Indian ITR), then Is he also liable to add income in UK ITR to compute taxes and treat his income from india as per treaty between the countries?

Regards

19 December 2024 1. Yes.
2. 12.5% +surcharge + Cess (assuming holding the property more than 2 years)
3. Yes, but he will get rebate for taxes paid in India.

plz guide


19 December 2024 In either case NRIs must declare foreign income, including capital gains from Indian properties, on their tax returns in their country of residence, understanding that they might not owe additional tax if they qualify for a foreign tax credit or other relief under the relevant tax treaty, but full disclosure is required.

19 December 2024 Ok sir thank you so much.....

20 December 2024 You are welcome.
