Head of Income

Others 857 views 10 replies

I want to know which head of income is appropriate for the following nature of activity. An Individual buys a property (Land or/and Building) and enters into agreement of sale. Then the individual sells the property before registering the same in his/her name. So the profit that he/she derive from the above transaction should be shown as "Income from Business/Profession" or "Income from Other Sources"? If its under PFBP is maintenance of books compulsory?

if his activity is routine in nature,income wld be classified under PGBP........if not it will be taxable under CAPITAL GAINS..........it wont be taxable under INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES IN ANY CASE.........books of accounts are required to be maintained if its a business activity and if the clients monetary limits fall under sec 44AA

Agree with ronit
 

capital gain will be attracted.....no books need to be maintained 

provided this is not the business of the person....

I THINK THIS COMES WITHIN THE MEANING OF ADVENTURE IN THE NATURE OF TRADE AND HENCE TO BE CLASSIFIED UNDER THE HEAD PROFITS AND GAINS FROM BUSIENSS AND PROFESSION. FOR MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS, IF THE ASSESSE TOTAL TURNOVER OR NET INCOME IS LESS THAN LIMIT AS PRESCRIBED UNDER 44AA, THEN NO NEED TO MAITAIN ACCOUNTS. HOWEVER, IF IT NOT THEN IT NEEDS TO MAITAIN THE ACCCOUNT..

 

REGARDS,

Agree with ronit, manoj

Regristration is not relevant in this case. if its a regular activity, its business income. if not, its CG

RONITH IS CORRECT

if the above client has business of buying and selling of properties then it will taxable under the head  income frm BUSINESS & PROFESSION otherwise capital gain will be attracted.....no books need to be maintained provided this is not the business of the person...

income from pgbp

I guess it is capital gains...
