Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the tax treatment for the sale of depreciable assets used in a business under Section 44AD. Income from selling such capital goods is considered Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) and is taxed under the Capital Gains head, not as part of the turnover under Section 44AD. The STCG should be reported in the Capital Gains schedule of your ITR-3.

30 December 2020 Income from the sale of capital goods would not form part of turnover under Sec. 44AD as the same would be chargeable to tax under the head Capital Gains. when the asset is depreciable Short Term Capital Gain would be chargeable on the sale of the capital asset.
