Stamp Duty Validated as Part of Acquisition Cost, Enabling Capital Gains Tax Exemption Under Sections 48 and 54

May 9, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal, holding that stamp duty constitutes a valid component of cost of acquisition under section 48 and investment for exemption under section 54. The Tribunal pragmatically interpreted evidentiary requirements, recognizing the bona fide nature of the assessee's claims based on documentary evidence. The decision mandates re-computation of long-term capital gains, incorporating stamp duty, interior work, and improvement expenditure, with the Assessing Officer directed to recalculate exemption accordingly.
