17 December 2010 I have following querry
An individual owns a land as capital assets for 2 years. He and two other have formed the partnership firm for development of land.
The indivial introduced the land to partnership business as capital
here the capital asset converted into stock in trade. But the entity is changed.
My query is about the taxability under capital gain short term or long term...
In which year taxability arises? year of conversion or year of sale of flats?
What will be the effect on taxability if the individual on his own has developed the land
