8.8.2 General
-
a. 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. A person who is treated as a nonresident 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.

-
c. Further, the non-resident shareholder can avail benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance
Page 40 of 55
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 AntiAvoidance Rule (“GAAR”) and providing and maintaining necessary information and documents as prescribed under the Income Tax Act.

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).
8.8.5 Shares held as investment:
As per the provisions of the Income Tax 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 Income Tax Act.

Page 41 of 55
-
a. The Finance Act, 2018 has withdrawn the exemption under section 10(38) for LTCG arising from transfer of equity shares on or after 1 April 2018.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 Income Tax Act provides for taxation of income arising from the transfer of such shares, which is explained in the following paragraphs.
-
b. 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:
-
i. Actual cost of acquisition; or
-
ii. 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.
-
c. 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.

The notification provides for the following situations:
-
i. Where acquisition of existing listed equity shares in a company, whose equity shares are not frequently traded on recognized stock exchanges of India, was made through a preferential issue, subject to certain exceptions;
-
ii. Where transaction for acquisition of existing listed equity share in a company was not entered through recognized stock exchanges of India, subject to certain exceptions;

-
j.
