This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the capital gains tax implications for an individual selling industrial land and a building. The calculation involves determining the cost of acquisition for both assets, considering indexation for the land and the Written Down Value (WDV) for the building, which may be negligible if constructed in 2008-09. A valuation report is recommended to ascertain the building's short-term gain, with the remaining sale proceeds attributed to the land for long-term capital gains calculation after indexation.

18 August 2023 Get valuation report of the building, that will be your short term gain of building.
Remaining part from sell value will be sell price of the land. Gain after deducting indexed cost of land will be LTCG.
