Long term capital gain tax

Dear Shruti,

If the shares are given back to the company under buy back, the whold of the gain is exempt under section 10(34A) of the Act, which is newly inserted by the Finance Act, 2013.

Hence, you need not pay any tax on the gain. Just declare the amount under exempt incomes in the Return of Income that you will be filing.

If you have any more queries, feel free to ask..

Yes, There is no need to pay tax in the above situation as per Section 10 (34A) of the act which may be summarized as follows:

W.e.f. 1.6.2013, the domestic company shall be liable to pay additional income tax @  20% (plus surcharge + cess) on any amount of distributed income paid by the company on buy back of shares as per Section 115QA.

Since, the company has to pay additional income-tax on buy back of shares, any income arising to an assessee, being a shareholder, on account of buy back of shares (not being listed on recognised stock exchange), shall be exempt.

 if STT not paid then LTCG shall be taxable at 20%. In addition to this, surcharge, if applicable, as well as education cess will have to be applied. 

Absolutely perfect as said by pooja

sir,  will it make any difference in calculating tax liability  if any STT have been paid ????

I think you have paid 20 % tax of  capital gain income.
