Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether capital gains tax applies to an exchange of properties between two brothers. One brother exchanges a house for a vacant site owned by the other. While some believe Section 47(iii) of the IT Act exempts such transactions, others suggest that structuring the exchange as a gift might avoid tax, though this requires careful planning.
Dear Sir, if you structure it as an exchange, then it is taxable as capital gains. However, if you plan the transaction as a gift, then not taxable. But there are intricacies in your case and requiring solid structuring.
