30 December 2012 In view of the provisions of the INCOME TAX ACT,1961, any payment above RS.20000 will be disallowed at a flat rate of 20% of entire amount and not the excess amount over 20000.(i.e.if land is purchased for Rs.100000,the disallowace would be 100000*20%=20000 and not (100000-20000)*20%. accordingly the value of land will be taken at a low figure for income tax purposes against which less depreciation shall be allowed, thereby increasing your profits and ultimately taxes.SINCE LAND IS TAKEN AS A NON DEPRECIABLE ASSET FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES,YOU MAY NOT BE AT A LOSS.HOWEVER, in order to be at a safer side & avoid various legal consequences, payment above Rs.20000 should be made through cheques only.
