 We got a doubt about setting off business loss against short term capital gain.

 
Sir, Can we setoff carry forward business loss (includes depreciation) against short term capital gain, which is as a result of depreciated business asset sale.

Dear DRK Reddy,

1) Brought forward Business losses CANNOT BE SETOFF AGAINST STCG......

2) Brought Forwad Unabsorbed Depreciatioan Can be set off against STCG.

3) Current Year Business Loss & Unabsorbed Dep Can be setoff against STCG.

agree with Mr.Amir

Brought forward Business loss can only be set off against Business income - It cannot be set off against STCG

As rightly pointed out by Amir, Unabsorbed depreciation can be set off against STCG....

Current year Business loss can be setoff against any income except salary income.....
