Capital Expenditure of a Trust

Tax queries 854 views 6 replies

Sir,

A Charitable trust is running only from the Donation received from the public.  Trust is not exempted under Section 12A /12AA.  Now, the trust wants to buy a Vehicle for trust activities.  There is no Reserve in the Balance Sheet.  If the trust purchases a Vehicle from the donation part, there will be a surplus in the Income and Expenditure account results Income tax.  

Can any body help me in this regard?

 

Thank you Sir,

Here is more clarification:

Trust is working only on the receipt of Donation.  and it is not covered under Section 12A.  So, all receipt is taxable subject to revenue expenditure.  If the trust purchases a vehicle or expenses on any Capital Good, it will not be reflected in the Income & Expenditure account.  So, indirectly the amount of expended for the purchase of fixed assets out of donation is being taxed.

Is it correct.  If yes, then please also suggest to save tax.  Is there any change is Donation is received for purchase of asset specifically.

Regards,

Capital expenditure of trust is as per sec 12A

There will no surplus in income as its an expense. There will be no surplus in expense as its accumulated expense. 

Dr. Bank 50k

Cr. Donation 50k

when you receive donation

Dr. Car 30k

Cr. Bank 30k

when you used that to purchase car

the surplus 50k-30k=20k will be taxed. 50k also will be taxed anyways cause your not exempted under that section. So why worry
