Treatment of purchased goodwill in income tax .


This query is : Resolved 

08 August 2019 One among the two partners in a firm took a mortgage loan on his personal account and such loan proceeds were remitted via neft to purchase a existing partnership firm.

Total amount paid was Rs. 12,00,000/-. (2,00,000 for fixed assets approx. and 10,00,000 for goodwill)

Can such goodwill be claimed in books of accounts as it is in the nature of purchased goodwill ? And can depreciation be charged on it ?

Also, can such amt Rs. 12,00,000/- in all be shown as capital contribution by such partner in the new firm books of accounts ?

Kindly advice us.

08 August 2019 Dear Sir, thank you for your views. As such payment was made without any agreement for takeover, so is it advisable to claim such goodwill in books of accounts ??
