27 April 2015 Income tax treats each individual separately. The sale proceedings from property owned by you attract Capital Gains tax. It is advisable to purchase new house in your name or on joint names of you and your wife and in such a case, the capital gains arising out of sale of house will not attract Capital Gains tax.
