Tax Advisory on Property Sale plan it before the agreement, not after the registration.
Pre-sale and post-sale tax advisory for sellers of residential and commercial property — capital gains forecast, TDS strategy under Section 194-IA / 195, lower-deduction certificate, exemption planning, and final ITR filing.
Most sellers think about tax after the property is sold. By then, the TDS has been deducted, the sale deed is registered, and the choices on exemption planning have already narrowed. The smart way is to bring tax into the picture before the agreement is even drafted.
A clean pre-sale plan answers four questions — how much capital gains tax will arise, what TDS the buyer must deduct, what exemption route makes sense, and how the seller will report it in the ITR. For NRI sellers, an additional question is whether a lower-deduction certificate under Section 197 should be obtained to free up cash flow.
We work alongside sellers, buyers, and lawyers from the agreement stage to closing — TDS coordination, drafting tax-relevant clauses, Section 54 / 54EC reinvestment planning, CGAS parking where required, and Schedule CG filing at year-end. Buyers are also supported on Form 26QB and Form 27Q filings.
