Foreign company having liasioning office in india want to close it office in india..
following are queries:-
a) capital gain on sale of fixed assets......
i) what will be the cost of acquisition. ? is it WDV or Cost of acquisition
Dear Sandeep Sir,
Yes Capital Gain will be computed (just confirm it with the relevant DTAA)
Second as to what would be deducted from Sale Price??
Answer will depend upon some facts from the past -
"Whether Depreciation has been claimed on that Building under Indian Income Tax Act?" {I hope ur case is not covered under presumptive taxation}
If Yes then Sec 50 shall apply & WDV shallbe deducted
& if No then Sec 48 will apply & Cost or Indexed Cost shall be deducted.

1. the liasion office is not allowed to earn any thing from india.. as such no depreciation is claimed by them. no income tax return has been filed by them also. 2. do we have to take prior permission from rbi for disposal of fixed assets.
