Sir,

I intended to sell gold  worth above 10 lakhs.

Query 1. Whether I have to pay income tax for the income from the sale ?

Query 2. Whether the buyer deduct the tax at source and if, at what rate

Thanking you

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies income tax obligations when selling gold worth over £10,000. It explains that profits are taxed as Capital Gains, with rates varying based on holding period (short-term vs. long-term with indexation benefits). The advice also addresses Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) rules, noting that while TDS isn't applicable on gold sales, TCS may apply if the cash transaction exceeds £2,000.

1- Yes, you're liable to pay tax on income from sale of jewellery under the head "Capital Gain".
If it is held for less than 36 months then short term cap gain that attract tax as per normal slab rate.
And if it is held for more than 36 months then its long term cap gain (ellgible for indexation benefit) that attract tax @ 20% (+cess)

2. No, there is no deduction of TDS in sale of gold. But if the sale is in CASH (value more than 2 Lakh) then 1% TCS need to be collected.

No deduction of TDS  in sale of gold.
