CHAPTER III

DIRECT TAXES

Income-tax

 

Amendment of section 32.

8. In section 32 of the Income-tax Act, in sub-section (1), in the fifth proviso, for the words, brackets and figures "clause (xiii) and clause (xiv)", the words, brackets, figures and letter "clause (xiii), clause (xiiib) and clause (xiv)" shall be substituted with effect from the 1st day of April, 2011

 



 

Notes on Clauses:

Clause 8 of the Bill seeks to amend section 32 of the Income tax Act relating to depreciation.

The existing provisions contained in the aforesaid section provide that the aggregate depreciation allowable to the predecessor and successor business entities in case of succession or amalgamation shall not exceed in any previous year the deduction allowable at prescribed rates as if the succession or amalgamation had not taken place and such deduction shall be apportioned between the two entities in the ratio of the number of days for which the assets were used by them.

It is proposed to make a reference of clause (xiiib) in the fifth proviso to sub-section (1) of the aforesaid section to provide that in case of succession of a private company or unlisted public company by limited liability partnership, the aggregate depreciation allowable to the predecessor company and the successor limited liability partnership shall not exceed, in any previous year, the deduction calculated at the prescribed rate as if no succession has taken place.

This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2011 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2011-2012 and subsequent years.
