All tax systems are based on a designated authority that determines whether the article is taxable. in this case taxability determined by aerial distance. any designated authority as per statute, that measures the distance, given that the location of land could be in different districts/states ?
sir
I would like to know weather income tax is applicable in relation to selling of two revenue land in replace purchasing of one land in first selling and make construction for second one. plz. clarify .
I had purchased agriculture land of 13 hector in Lavad village 13 km. far from Dehgam municipality of gandhinagar dist. Dehgam has 42000 population. Land was purchased in july 2010 and sold within 1 year.capital gain tax was charged. Was this tax chargable ?
I want to know if the land is situated at 1 km distance and the population is 1,01,000. Then whether it would be taxable?
If going by your above definition, the limit for land situated within 2 kms is 10,001 – 1,00,000. So if in above situation, if the population is 1,01,000 for 1 km distance land, then it will be considered as NOT TAXABLE.
I want to understand the following for the distance of 2km or less.
You have mentioned,
“If the population ** is more than 10,000 but less than or equal to 1 lakh i.e ( 10,001-1,00,000)”
If the population is below 1,00,000, then anyhow it is non taxable. Then why there is a need to mention from 10,001 – 1,00,000? If it is below 10,000, then also it is non-taxable. So the limit should be 0 – 1,00,000 not 10,001 – 1,00,000.
Please help me to understand
