10 March 2008 1.since it is your business of letting and leasing it would be treated as business income.

2.cost can be calculated by dividing total cost to the total plinth area constructed including loading of common infrastructures

3.since you would be holding any unsold shop for sale as stock in trade there is no question of sale of capital asset and hence indexation , however you can always convert your stock in trade into capital asset based on your tax planning requirement and strategic business planning then the date of conversion would be recokoned for the purpose of holding and indexation would be applicable in case you hold the capital asset for 3 years from the date of conversion.

10 March 2008 BEING YOUR BUSINESS OF LETTING AND LEASING IT WILL BE TAXABLE UNDER THE HEAD BUSINESS INCOME.

10 March 2008 It is ur business income and as such indexation cannot be calculated

10 March 2008 1. FOR ANY BUILDER / CONSTRUCTION FIRM, COST IS BASED ON COST PER SQ. FOOT .
2. SALE PRICE PER SQ. FOOT- COST PER SQ. FOOT IS PROFIT.
3. IT IS YOUR FULL TIME BUSINESS INCOME AND NOT A HOUSE PROPERTY INCOME.
4.SINCE THE PROPERTY FORMS PART OF YOUR NORMAL/REGULAR BUSINESS,THE STOCK NEEDS CONVERTION INTO CAPITAL ASSET(AT YOUR OPTION) FOR BEING TAXED UNDER CAPITAL GAINS WHEN INDEXATION APPLIES AS LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN/LOSS FOR A PERIOD BEYOND 36 MONTHS .
OTHERWISE SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN/ LOSS.
