Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax treatment of land received as payment for services. It clarifies that the value of the land, or the service if determinable, is taxable. The cost of acquisition is generally the value determined for the service. The income is typically taxed under Profits and Gains of Business or Profession (PGBP) if the recipient regularly deals in land; otherwise, it falls under Capital Gains.

1. The Value of Service if it can be reasonably determined shall be the value of services rendered. If the same cannot be ascertained reasonably,the fair market value of the consideration (land)received shall be the value of service provided.

2. The cost of acquisition shall be the value determined in point 1 above

3. Yes, the value of services calculated as per point 1 shall be taxable under PGBP
I completely agreeing with Point no 1 and 2 but regarding Point no 3, it's income from PGBP if the assesse is a regularly dealing in sake and purchases of land otherwise it's a Capital Gain
