We are a private limited company with a land lease from 2019 to 2037. We completed construction on this land in the financial year 2023-24 and began using the property within the same year. *Depreciation Period:* The Companies Act 2013 specifies a 30-year useful life for buildings, with depreciation rates of 9.5% (WDV) and 3.17% (SLM). However, our lease is only 18 years. Accordingly, we should depreciate the building over the balance period .What rate of depreciation should we adopt ? *Change of Depreciation Method:* We currently use the WDV method, which front-loads depreciation. We are considering switching to SLM to better match our business needs by spreading depreciation evenly over the asset's useful life. This change is justified because with SLM, the depreciation amount remains consistent each year. This approach will help manage the later years' burden of repairs, which would otherwise impact the P&L account more significantly under WDV. Is it permissible to switch from WDV to SLM for this leased asset under these circumstances? We seek guidance on ensuring compliance with regulations and aligning our accounting practices with our business needs.

Under section 50C of the Income Tax Act, if a person sells a capital asset below registration value, he will be liable to pay capital gain tax treating registration value as sale consideration. This rule is subject to certain tolerance. The section also provides that seller can also ask for valuation to be done if he has any genuine reason for selling at lower value. In such situation, he will offer capital gain tax based on actual value received. But I find in Income Tax portal, the ITR utility by default adopts only registration value and not actual sale consideration. Please look into this and revert.

Whether Deposits received from the members of a/an Apartment Owners Association/Residential Association (the Association) towards future supplies is taxable at the time of its receipt? Contentions: 1. Deposits received from the members of an Association towards future supplies is taxable u/s. 7(1)(aa). 2. However, the taxability u/s. 7(1)(aa) attracts only if there is any consideration 3. As per the proviso to section 2(31), a deposit given in respect of the supply of goods or services or both shall not be considered as payment made for such supply unless the supplier applies such deposit as consideration for the said supply. As such can one construe/interpret that- • unless the Supplier (the Association) applies (expends) such deposit (towards any supply) there is no payment made for such supply (and hence no consideration) as per section 2(31) • Taxability u/s. 7(1)(aa) arises only in the case of ‘consideration’. In case of such deposits, deposits received in advance partakes the character of consideration only when Supplier (the Association) applies (expends) such deposit (towards any supply to its members) as per the proviso to section 2(31). • Hence the time of supply shifts to the time of actual application of such deposits as against the date of receipt of payment (herein in advance) as envisaged u/s. 13(2)(a). • Hence no GST to be paid at the time of receipt of such Deposits, but only when and if at all the Supplier (the Association) applies (expends) such deposit (towards any supply to its members).
