where assets of a co. are distributed to its shareholders on its liquidation,why such distribution is not regarded as transfer(in context of capital gain)?

Replies (3)

because for transfer there must be give and take relationship. here co. gives assets to shareholders and dont recieve anything from shareholders. so it cant be treated as a transfer.

Assets transfer on liquidation to their share holders is excluded in capital gain tax. under section 46(1)/47.

But it is treated as dividend under sec 2 (22).
