Taxability of gift in kind

945 views 2 replies

Hi all,

My query is regarding the section 56(2)(vii) introduced by Finance Act 2009 regarding taxability of any movable or immovable property without consideration or inadequate consideration in the hands of the recipient. This section has been inserted to bring within its scope the value of any property without / inadequate consideration.

For this purpose it says that property "means" and gives a list of items.

My query is that if a person receives a gift which is not mentioned in the above list, then still does he get taxed for eg. a car, a wrist watch,etc.

Thanks and regards,

Shivangi

Uday had rightly said that the above definition is exhaustive.
That was exactly how I intepreted the section, however the answer to the same in Manoharan says that any movabl property or a watch would also be taxable as per the new section. And for the similar case Gupta says that only the property mentioned in the list would be taxed not other gifts in kind. So needed clarification for the contradictory views. Thank you Uday and Rajat.
