• On the date of allotment of bonus shares he held 1,000 original shares, therefore, bonus share entitlement = 1,000 ÷ 5 = 200 bonus shares.

• On the date of issue of right shares he held 1,000 original shares + 200 bonus shares = 1200 shares, therefore, right share entitlement = 1200 × 2 = 2400 right shares. He renounces 1700 shares in favour of Y, therefore he is left with 700 right shares. Insurance CLaim received on Destruction of Asset

FAQs on Computation of CapitaL Gain,Insurance Claim - Taxation - Income Tax for assessment (Inter Level)

1. How is capital gain computed for tax purposes?
Ans. Capital gain is computed by subtracting the cost basis of an asset from its selling price. The cost basis includes the original purchase price plus any associated expenses, such as brokerage fees. The resulting amount is the capital gain, which may be subject to taxation.
2. Can insurance claims be considered as capital gains for tax purposes?
Ans. No, insurance claims are generally not considered as capital gains for tax purposes. Capital gains typically arise from the sale of assets, such as stocks or real estate. Insurance claims, on the other hand, are payments received due to a loss or damage to insured property and are not typically subject to capital gains tax.
3. Is there a specific tax rate for capital gains?
Ans. The tax rate for capital gains depends on various factors, including the type of asset, holding period, and individual's income level. In many countries, capital gains are subject to a different tax rate compared to regular income. Generally, long-term capital gains, derived from assets held for more than a year, are taxed at a lower rate than short-term capital gains.
4. Are there any exemptions or deductions available for capital gains?
Ans. Yes, there are often exemptions or deductions available for capital gains. Many countries provide exemptions or reduced tax rates for certain types of assets, such as primary residences. Additionally, taxpayers may be eligible for deductions on capital losses, which can offset capital gains and reduce the overall tax liability.
5. How should insurance claims be reported for tax purposes?
Ans. Insurance claims are typically not reported as taxable income on tax returns since they are considered a reimbursement for a loss or damage. However, if the insurance claim exceeds the adjusted basis of the property, it may be necessary to report the excess as a capital gain. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional or refer to specific tax guidelines for accurate reporting of insurance claims.
