GST implication on asset resale on loss


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies when an asset, specifically a car, is sold to a retiring employee for less than its book value. The example provided shows a car purchased for £50 lakh, with depreciation bringing its book value down to £30 lakh, but it's resold for £28 lakh. The consensus is that no GST is applicable in such a scenario where the resale value is lower than the current book value.

28 April 2022 A car purchase and resale to emplyee at the time of his retirement at cost below its book value as per the Balance sheet after giving effect to holding period deprectiation.
So whether GST has to be charge on the sale value on not ?
As the sale value is lower than its current book value
E.g purchase cost 50lakh
Deprecition 20lakh
Book value 30lakh
Resale value 28lakh

28 April 2022 No GST applicable when car sold less than book value.
