Dear All,
We had a factory land in Navi Mumbai, which was acquired in 1997. the cost of the land was Rs. 1 Cr. and then the factory building was build at the cost of Rs. 90 L.
It depriciated value os Rs. 45L.
Today if we sale the land & building will the profit be taxable and if we reinvest the entire amount in another factory plot & building will it be taxable.
Please guide me appropriately.
Regards
Jignesh Patel
Dear Jignesh,
The sale consideration is required to be split between two parts. One pertaing to Land & Other pertaing to Building. {Certificate from Govt. approved or registered valuer will do}
The "Building portion" of sale consideration will be reduced from the Block in terms of Sec 50.If Closing WDV is positive & there are other asset in the Block then no treatment under capital gain is required to be done. Otherwise Capital gains will arise nevertheless the same can be claimed exempt u/s 54EC.
The "land portion" of sale consideration will be dealth with Sec 48. (Benefit of Indexation of cost shall be allowed) - Any gain can be claimed exempt u/s 54EC
MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CLAIMED U/S 54EC IN ANY FY IS 50 LACS BY MAKING INVESTMENT IN THE REC / NHAI BONDS.
Dear Jignesh,
I agree with amir view, only addition i will like to make is that in case there is no other building than the excess of sale consideration over wdv will be treated as short term capital gain u/s 50. Also there is a mechanism wherein if the sale is within 6 months of the end of the financial year than the exemption u/s 54EC can be claimed upto Rs. 1 Crore by investing twice Rs.50 Lac in 2 different financial year, i hope u got my point or else contact any professional CA to help u out.

What would be the case if assessee is a PVT Ltd Company? What options are available to tax Tax?
Assessee is a PVT Ltd Company. It has land & building in Tamilnadu. It is winding up the operations in Tamilnadu & transferring all the assets to a new PVT Ltd Company in Gujarat doing the same business. Shareholding pattern is same in both the companies. There is a capital gain on transfer of land & building. What is the way to reduce tax liabilitiy?

ideally you should merge the the companies for avoiding any taxation except for stamp duties.
