17 July 2024 Dear Sir/Ma'am,
My query is that my client made a commercial complex 20 years back and there was only one shop that was in stock and he sold this shop in 2023-24, now the difference in price is huge so is he bound to pay tax @33% on the difference amount or some indexation benefit is allowed in this case. The assessee is a firm

Thanks and Regards

18 July 2024 The conversion of stock-in-trade into capital assets under section 45(5a) shall be treated as a transfer of a capital asset, and the taxpayer shall be liable to pay tax on the capital gains arising from such transfer. The tax liability shall be calculated as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act.
