07 February 2011 A person has received a sum of money from the sale of his shop, now he wants to make a gift to his daughter with that sale proceeds. This gift is made other than an occasion of her marriage.

What is the treatment in the hands of that person of such sale proceed? Whether he has to pay tax on the total amount recd. less cost or on the amount left from the deduction of amt. of gift.

07 February 2011 1. Sale of Shop:

He has to pay tax on Capital Gains arising on sale of shop. It depends upon period of holding. In case it is held for more than 3 years then shop will be a long term capital asset and the seller is allowed indexation benefit in such cases.

In short first the person has to pay tax on Capital Gains or Profits. He may save taxes also by making investment.

2 Gift to Daughter
He can gift any amount to his daughter at any point of time . Only thing to be kept in mind that if the daughter is unmarried and minor , income arising from gifted money will be added back in the hands of the father or mother, who ever is having higher income.
