Section 45(5A) of Income Tax Act, 1961


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
Section 45(5A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, allows individuals and HUFs to defer tax on Joint Development Agreements until an occupancy certificate is received. However, for partnership firms and LLPs, tax is payable upon entering the agreement. This discussion clarifies whether tax for real estate firms engaging in JDAs falls under capital gains or business income, concluding it's typically treated as business income.

23 March 2024 As per Section 45(5A) of Income Tax Act, 1961, relaxation to pay tax arising from a Joint Development Agreement at the time of receipt of occupancy certificate is given only to Individuals & HUF. There in the case of a pertnership firm or an LLP, tax is still payable at the time of entering into Joint Development Agreement. My query here is, in the case of an LLP or a Partnership firm that is in real estate business, the tax on Joint Development Agreement shall be paid under the head Capital Gains or Income from Business ?

05 May 2024 For the firm being engaged in such development activities, it will be under business income.

08 September 2024 Good Luck.
