Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies capital gains tax (CGT) implications when a residential property is gifted. It confirms that a son can claim Section 54 exemption for purchasing or constructing a new home if he sells a gifted property and incurs a capital gain. It also addresses the scenario where a father sells a property, incurs CGT, and gifts the proceeds to his sons, concluding that the father remains liable for the CGT.
If a father sells the property and earns CG on that (Assuming there is no new residential property or construction) and distributes the consideration to Sons as a gift.
whether Consideration will be liable to CG tax ? And in whose hands?
My view is father will be liable for CG tax and not the sons . Correct if there is any gap in understanding.
