Book value_gross block/net block_u/s 72a

563 views 4 replies

Dear Learned Members,

Section 72A of Income Tax Act States that , the amalgamating company

(ii) has held continuously as on the date of the amalgamation at least three-fourths of the book value of fixed assets held by it two years prior to the date of amalgamation;  to carry forward & set off business loss and unabsorbed depreciation in the amalgamted company.

Now my question is that should i consider the gross block or net block for calculating the Book Value of fixed assets.

Please help

Regards,

Shinil.

Book value will mean the WDV of the asset.... So it will be the Net block
Thank you very much fro

Thank you very much for your reply.

Further if we consider WDV for book value then naturally after depreciation for 2 years my book value will come down to less than 75 % .This is where my confusion is..

The condition is that the Assets must not be sold within the period....

The value of the Assets need not be considered ..

The assets which form the WDV as in the Balance sheet before 2 years needs to be still used for the business.
