FIFT TO HUF - SEC 64 AND SEC 54 RELATED

If A transfers to family HUF and then HUF sells it, I am aware that the capital gains would be charged to A in view of the clubbing provision u/s 64. However if the HUF reinvests the Long Term capital gains u/s 54 then the capital gaains for HUF would be Nil. Hence nothing will be addded to the return of A. Is my assessment correct?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications when an individual (A) gifts an asset to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), which then sells it. The primary concern is whether Section 64's clubbing provisions mean capital gains are taxed on A, even if the HUF reinvests the proceeds under Section 54 to reduce its own capital gains liability. The consensus is that the clubbing provisions mean the capital gains are assessed under A's PAN, and therefore, A cannot typically claim an exemption under Section 54 based on the HUF's reinvestment. Section 54F, which has restrictions on property ownership, is also discussed as not applying to a plot of land.

KIndly read FIFT as GIFT in my query posted a while ago.

Thanks

No.

If A invests in property he can claim the LTCG exemption.

A already golds 2 residetial flats and therefore would not be ble to claim benefit u/s 54.

How about HUF reinvesting it? 

Thanks

Due to clubbing provision LTCG is assessed under PAN of individual A. How can investment by HUF exempt 'A' liability?.

Moreover under sec. 54 there is no restriction of holding only 2 HP; that provision is u/s. 54F.

Thank you for your reply.

However since it is a plot and not residential house,Sec 54 F would not apply. Another professional has suggested that since HUF would have no LTCG as reinvestment takes place in the name of HUF only, nothing will get added to A.

 

 

Not an authentic suggestion, without supporting  any rule or case-law.
