According to income tax officials, Section 55(2) of the I-T Act estimates the cost of right to carry on any business as nil. However, non-compete compensation received by a person carrying on a reputed business is not explicitly covered in the clause right to carry on any business and is claimed as capital receipt. The department has favoured an amendment to Section 28 of the I-T Act to exclude such compensation from the list of capital transactions. The non-compete fee is shown as capital receipt and thus gets exemption.
