Like residents, non-resident Indians or NRIs selling their property in India must also pay capital gains tax. However, TTY rates differ depending on housing status. Generally, residential real estate, land, buildings, patents, vehicles, hereditary building rights, trademarks, investments, machinery and jewellery are counted as capital property. Illustration of short-term capital gains: Mr. A sold his property in January 2016 for 50 lakh, which he had bought in December 2014 for 30 lakh. According to his income, Mr. A falls into the highest tax plate of 30%. Mr. A spent about Rs 2 lakh to improve the house during the period and also paid a brokerage fee of 0.5% of the sale price of the house at the time of the sale of the house. What will be their taxable capital gain and how much tax will they have to pay? 1. According to § 54, you sell a residential property and invest the profits in the purchase of a new residential property and claim an exemption from capital gains tax. Capital gains realized on the sale of a real estate asset are considered capital gains from a property. The DPA (withholding tax) applies to the transfer of property, whether it is a long-term capital gain or a short-term capital gain.

The tax deduction is made in advance by the buyer upon payment to the seller. In other words, after deduction of TDS, the balance is paid to the seller. The table below gives an idea of how a property`s long-term capital gains tax will be calculated in 2022. Individuals who intend to sell their property should know the following – (exemption = cost of new residential property x capital gains/sales receipts) If individuals decide to sell a property above Rs. 50 lakh, it is considered the duty of buyers to deduct one percent of the value of the property as TDS. Regarding the calculation of capital gain from the sale of real estate, Hemal Mehta, Partner at Deloitte India, said: « Real estate, i.e. land and buildings, can be considered as `fixed assets` (excluding agricultural land which is not fixed assets), capital gains tax is levied at the time of transfer of such land and buildings. The nature of these capital gains may be classified as « long-term » if the property is held by the seller for 24 months or more; or « short-term » if detained for less than 24 months. Long-term capital gains are taxed at a rate of 20% (plus surtax and applicable levies), while short-term capital gains are taxed at the normal tax rate for appraisers.

The value of silver is constantly falling due to inflation. For example, the income tax department in India allows the indexation of the cost price of real estate in order to adjust it to price increases related to inflation. The cost inflation index is updated by the Reserve Bank of India every fiscal year. The following table shows the cost inflation index since its base year 1981-82 (base year = 100) This website may be linked to other websites (including those of ABC Companies) on the World Wide Web that are not under the control or maintained by ABCL.

Thus, employees are busy calculating their annual income from direct and indirect sources of income. For a person who earns money, most income is easy to calculate, but if the taxpayer has sold a property, the situation in this case can become difficult when calculating the capital gain. It is therefore important to know how to calculate your capital gain on the property sold during the 2021-22 financial year. If you sell your property that has been in your possession for more than three years, any gain from such a sale will be considered a long-term capital gain. Long-term capital gain is the difference between the net consideration for sales and indexed real estate costs. The benefit of indexation can offset the impact of inflation on profits made on the sale of the property, so the real profits of real estate are taxed.

This is based on the logic that the value of money is constantly decreasing due to inflation and therefore it is unfair to tax a long-term property owner for the nominal profits that accrue to him solely due to inflation. In addition, the buyer of the property must deduct the tax on behalf of the seller up to 1% of the total consideration, provided that the consideration exceeds 50 lakhs. Accordingly, if payments are made in instalments; then TDS would also be deducted on each payment. Thus, the buyer is required to respect the withholding tax. The seller can claim credit for this TDS when filing their tax returns. All costs incurred by a person, directly or indirectly, in transferring the property in question would be considered expenses in connection with the transfer.
