As per the new amended law, capital gains from Joint development agreement shall be taxable in the year of completion. Have you received the completion certificate?

Capital Gains is calculated considering sales consideration to be the stamp duty value of the flats received.

Hi,

Ideally you were liable to pay capital gain tax at the time it's entering into the JDA.

However, assuming you have not paid it at that time, you can pay it when you receive possession. Considering the low value of land, your capital gain will be more or less equal to fair market value of the property at the time of possession. You will have to pay tax @20% on capital gain.

Please feel free to call/ revert in case you need more clarity.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

You will need to compute the capital gains by subtracting the indexed cost of the 2 flats from the stamp duty value of the 2 flats. You will need to pay capital gains @20% in the year you get the occupancy certificate.

Hi,

Please provide the entire cost of construction of the 4 units.

You have to pay tax, if any, arising on gains made by transfer of units to builder based on the cost of construction of entire 4 units and the cost of acquisition taking into care stamp duty valuation.

Valuation of land as on 01.04.2001 would also be required to provide correct indexation benefits.
