Capital gains - property

Tax queries 584 views 3 replies

Hi,

 

My friend aged 75 has sold his flat for 60 lacs and then purchased a flat for 45 lacs. On the surplus of 15 lacs

what is the capital gains tax?  He will be further investing this 15 lacs in a Bank FD for his future needs.

 

Secondly in the deal of sale, buyer made part payment of 40 lacs with his own fund

and handed over the loan disbursed amount of 40 lacs against which he has to return

20 lacs.  While issuing the return cheque of 20 lacs to the buyer, will the bank levy any tax or duty?

regards,

Rajesh

Firstly, you are required to determine whether the propoerty sold was a long term capital asset or a short term capital asset

Secondly, if the property sold was a residential property and the property purchased is also a residential property, the Capital Gains would be exempt

For detailed info on the same, refer this article on Long Term Capital Gains

Hi Rajesh

 

If it is a logn term capital gain the tax rate will be 20% on 15 lakhs. In case of STCG it will be taxed at normal income tax slab rates.

If it is a long term capital gain then it will be taxed @ 20% or if it is a short term capitel gain it will be taxed normally
