25 February 2017HELLO ALL,
ONE OF MY CLIENT IS A CO-OWNER OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY. OTHER OWNER IS NOW TRANSFERRING HIS 50% OWNERSHIP TO HIM AS A GIFT. IF AN IMMOVABLE PROPERTY IS RECEIVED AS A GIFT THEN RECEIVER IS LIABLE TO PAY TAX AS PER STAMP DUTY VALUATION.
PLEASE SUGGEST ANY TAX PLANNING IN THIS CASE.
AND WHAT IS THE TRANSFERROR'S LIABILITY IN THIS CASE??
jf a person receives a gift, if the value of the gift is exceeding the certain limit then he/she must add it in his income and pay the income tax. If you receive the gift worth more than Rs.50000, you are liable to pay the tax whatever you received excess of the limit
One very happy feature of the provision of taxation of gifts is that any gift received from any person on the occasion of the marriage of the gift’s recipient would not be liable to income tax -
The following list of gifts are fully exempted from Tax whether the it is received as Cash, or any other form of the material doesn’t affect the exemption.
Gift received under a Will or by way of inheritance
Gift in contemplation of death of the donor; Gift from any local authority
Gift from any fund or foundation or university or other educational institution or hospital or any trust or any institution referred to in Section 10(23C)
Gift from any trust or institution, which is registered as a public charitable trust or institution under Section 12AA
if a person gives a gift to anoher then such gift would not be regarded as transfer so no capital gain
aries in the hand of transferor
