A Sole proprietorship Firm cannot be "converted" into Private Company.
A new Company maybe incorporated which will takeover the business of the Sole proprietorship Firm through a Slump Sale Agreement.
For this following requirements shall be met:
- The MOA of the New Company must include an object that states – “The takeover of a sole proprietorship concern” or similar words.
- All the assets and liabilities of the sole proprietorship firm must be transferred to the private limited company.
As far as Income Tax is concerned, treatment should be same as Slump sale of business.
