One of my relative gifted an immovable property consisting of land and residential building to his wife on Feb, 2018 and subsequently wife sold the same in March, 2018 and the tax u/s 194IA was deducted in the name of wife by the purchaser. Now when they want to file the return, can the wife take the original cost of purchase by her husband as Cost of acquisition or the amount fixed in the gift deed? Also what will be the period of holding of property of wife?
01 September 2018
Period of holding will be calculated from the date the gift giver(husband) acquired the property till the date of sale by the gift receiver(wife)
