Transfer of capital Assets

You Must Read the clouse (XXI) of SEC 47 following Items are not regarded as transfer..........

dear Pawan, there is no any section - 47 (XXI ). I have know only Section - 47 ( XIV )

It's not a transfer U/S 47(xiv) bcauz proprietor is holding less than 50% of the total voting power in the Company.

 Sec 47 (xiv) where a sole proprietary concern is succeeded by a company in the business carried on by it as a result of which the sole proprietary concern sells or otherwise transfers any capital asset or intangible asset to the company :

Provided that

(a) all the assets and liabilities of the sole proprietary concern relating to the business immediately before the succession become the assets and liabilities of the company;

(b) the shareholding of the sole proprietor in the company is not less than fifty per cent of the total voting power in the company and his shareholding continues to remain as such for a period of five years from the date of the succession; and

(c) the sole proprietor does not receive any consideration or benefit, directly or indirectly, in any form or manner, other than by way of allotment of shares in the company;

and what about if the share holding is 57.50 %.

 Then i guess it wont be a problem sir..i just copied the section for u....

OK...........B

It's not a transfer U/S 47(xiv) bcauz proprietor is holding less than 50% of the total voting power in the Company.

No sir, if the shareholding of the sole proprietor falls below 50% then capital gain will arise..hence there will be a transfer in the said case..

yes it will be considered as transfer and accordingly charged to tax...

 yup when the person holds 27.50% it will be a transfer and attract capital gains..and when its 57.50% it wnt be a transfer

What is covered U/s 47(xiv)? It is not the transfer of capital assets by a proprietor to his company. It is the SUCCESSION by a company of the proprietary business.

So it is transfer chargeable to tax whether the shareholding is 27% or 57%.

Wel the query was transfer of capital assets from proprietary concern to Pvt Ltd Company.

Given that the business of both companies is same and there is already a pattern of shareholding now, at present, it is not a new company. To claim 47(xiv), the proprietorship must be succeeded by a company.

Hence a transfer chargeable to tax, since here only an asset is being transfer.

Yes capital gain shall arise. In case when properietorship concern is succeeded by a company and certain conditions are satisfied then there will be no transfer
