8.1 General:

  • 8.1.1 The basis of charge of Indian income-tax depends upon the residential status of the taxpayer during a tax year. The Indian tax year runs from April 1 until March 31. A person who is an Indian tax resident is liable to income-tax in India on his worldwide income, subject to certain tax exemptions, which are provided under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”). A person who is treated as a non-resident for Indian income-tax purposes is generally subject to tax in India only on such person’s India-sourced income (i.e. income which accrues or arises or deemed to accrue or arise in India) as also income received by such persons in India. In case of shares of a company, the source of income from shares will depend on the “situs” of such shares. As per judicial precedents, generally the “situs” of the shares is where a company is “incorporated” and where its shares can be transferred.

  • 8.1.2 Accordingly, since the Target Company is incorporated in India, the Target Company’s shares should be deemed to be “situated” in India and any gains arising to a non-resident on transfer of such shares should be taxable in India under the IT Act.

  • 8.1.3 Further, the non-resident shareholder can avail benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (“DTAA”) between India and the respective country of which the said shareholder is tax resident subject to satisfying relevant conditions including non-applicability of General Anti-Avoidance Rule (“GAAR”) and providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under the IT Act.

  • 8.1.4 The IT Act also provides for different income-tax regimes/ rates applicable to the gains arising from the tendering of shares under the Offer, based on the period of holding, residential status, classification of the shareholder and nature of the income earned, etc.

  • 8.1.5 The summary of income-tax implications on tendering of listed equity shares on the Recognised Stock Exchange in India is set out below. All references to equity shares herein refer to listed equity shares unless stated otherwise.

  • 8.2 Classification of Shareholders: Shareholders can be classified under the following categories:

  • 8.2.1 Resident Shareholders being:

  • a. Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Association of Persons (AOP) and Body of Individuals (BOI) b. Others

  • 8.2.2 Non-Resident Shareholders being:

26 | P a g e

  • a. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)

  • b. Foreign Institution Investors (FIIs) / Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs)

  • c. Others:

    • i. Company

    • ii. Other than company

  • 8.3 Classification of Income: Shares can be classified under the following two categories

  • 8.3.1 Shares held as investment (Income from transfer taxable under the head “ Capital Gains ”)

  • 8.3.2 Shares held as stock-in-trade (Income from transfer taxable under the head “ Profits and Gains from Business or Profession ”)

Gains arising from the transfer of shares may be treated either as “capital gains” or as “business income” for income-tax purposes, depending upon whether such shares were held as a capital asset or trading asset (i.e. stock-in-trade).

  • 8.4 Shares held as investment : As per the provisions of the IT Act, where the shares are held as investments (i.e. capital asset), income arising from the transfer of such shares is taxable under the head “Capital Gains”. Capital gains in the hands of shareholders will be computed as per provisions of Section 48 of the IT Act.

  • 8.5 Period of holding : Depending on the period for which the shares are held, the gains will be taxable as “ short-term capital gain ” or “ long-term capital gain ”:

  • 8.5.1 In respect of equity shares held for a period less than or equal to 12 (Twelve) months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a “short-term capital asset”, and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as “short term capital gains” (“ STCG ”).

  • 8.5.2 Similarly, where equity shares are held for a period more than 12 months prior to the date of transfer, the same should be treated as a “long-term capital asset”, and accordingly the gains arising therefrom should be taxable as “long-term capital gains” (“ LTCG ”).

  • 8.6 Tendering of Shares in the Offer through a Recognized Stock Exchange in India : Where a transaction for transfer of such equity shares (i.e. acceptance under an open offer) is transacted through a Recognized Stock Exchange and is chargeable to Securities Transaction Tax (“ STT ”), then the taxability will be as under (for all categories of shareholders):

  • 8.6.1 The Finance Act, 2018 has withdrawn the exemption under section 10(38) for LTCG arising from transfer of equity shares on or after 1 April 2018. Section 112A of the IT Act provides for taxation of income arising from the transfer of such shares, which is explained in the following paragraphs.

  • 8.6.2 The gain accrued on such equity shares till 31 January 2018 has been exempted by providing that for the purpose of computing LTCG the cost of shares acquired before 1 February 2018 shall be the higher of the following:

  • a. Actual cost of acquisition; or

  • b. Lower of: (A) fair market value, and (B) full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the shares.

Fair market value has been defined to mean the highest price of the equity share quoted on any recognized stock exchange on 31 January 2018.

  • 8.6.3 After taking into account the exemption provided above, LTCG arising from transfer of equity shares, exceeding Rs. 100,000, will be taxable at 10% without allowing the benefit of indexation.

  • 8.6.4 However, section 112A of the IT Act shall not apply if such equity shares were acquired on or after 1 October 2004 and securities transaction tax (‘STT under Chapter VII of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004’) was not paid.
