Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a sole proprietor can gift business assets to their son and if this transfer is taxable under the Income Tax Act. Based on a literal interpretation, gifts to relatives, including sons, are generally exempt from tax. Therefore, such a gift would likely fall outside the scope of taxation.

There is no distinction given in the act regarding the type of gift. If we go by literal interpretation, gift given to relatives shall be exempt and son comes under the purview of relative. and therefore, the same shall be outside the ambit of tax.
