Please find below computation for long term gain, exemption and income tax payable
Purchase Year = 2001-02, Purchase Cost = 120350, Cost Inflation Index (CII) for purchase year = 426
Sale Year = 2011-12, Selling price = 1680000, CII for sale year = 785
Indexed Purchase price = 120350 x (785/426) = 221772
Long term capital gain = 1680000 - 221772 = 1458228
Income tax on capital gain = 1458228 x 20% = 291645.6
Invested Amount = 1400000
Non-exempted capital gains = 1458228 *(1-1400000/1680000) = 243038
Income tax on non-exempted capital gains = 243038 x 20% = 48608
Compound fencing spend, municipal taxes, painting cost cannot be added to purchase cost.
Above income tax may be reduced further if you don't have any other income in financial year. You can deduct 1.8 lakh from non exempted capital gains(2.43 lakh) and pay 20% on remaining gains.
Dear Mr.Pankaj, I would add the following: My age is 61 years. Getting LIC annuity Rs.62000/- and annual interest of Rs.72000/- Kindly need your advice. Regards, Sarathy
You would need to pay 20% income tax on (72000+243000)-250000.
Dear Mr.Pankaj,How the calculation will be without indexation? Regards,Sarathy
