I am confused

Can company buy lot of assets to claim high depreciation over say next 5 years and then sell it again at orignal price or more ? for eg Buildings 

  1. If sold at same orignal price  after 5years of claiming depreciaition  , it will be taxed
  2. but I am thinking after 5 years even if charged with same tax amount percentage, it would have lost time value of money ( The tax amount would have lost time value of money )

    I think - we would have claimed high depreciaiton benefit & still pay less value of taxes in terms of time value 

eg

iF Building was 100 cr , we claimed 50 crs depriciation over next 5 year and then sold it for 100 cr , with now tax on gain 50cr @ 30% =15cr

but this value is discounted at 10% = 15/ (1.10)^5 =9.31 cr 

and

will revaluation help me in capital gains tax ? Do I pay tax on gain from tax base amount or difference between revaluation amount & sold amount

 

any notes and content to understand better will be higlhy appericiated .

 

Thank you

You are confused between income tax liability over the asset, its depreciated value, block of assets rules & depreciation rules as per company act....

For all such estimate, firstly go with income tax rules alone, where depriciation rate for building is 5%.

Raise the query again with that calculation...

Check whether block of assets exist...

If not what is your capital gain over which tax liability exist?
