17 February 2014 gift tax applicability when a new car received against old car which was met with road accident while driving – currently my car is met with accident with other car . other car owner has admitted his careless and negligence. My car is insured. Other car owner has given a new branded car from indian dealer . New car's cost is more than the car's WDV. I took the insurance from the company and give this amount to the car owner. My queries is that is this transaction attract the gift tax ? Is income tax caluse applicable?

17 February 2014 1. Gift tax has been abolished. Therefore there is no tax on such gift.

2. Gift of PROPERTY from non-relatives are taxable u/s Section 56(2)(vii).

However, PROPERTY does NOT include car. Accordingly, there is NO tax liability on the car received.
