Rules notified to determine ‘Fair Market Value’ for conversion of inventory into capital assets

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has notified the rules relating to the determination of ‘Fair Market Value’ of inventories converted into capital assets.

The rules, which will come into effect from April 1 — assessment year 2019-20 — will help remove uncertainty surrounding valuation of assets which are converted into capital assets.

The rules follow an amendment in the Income Tax Act inserted in the Finance Act 2018. The amendment provides that any profit and gain from the conversion of inventory into the capital asset or its treatment as capital asset will be charged to tax as business income. It has also been provided that for this purpose the fair market value of inventory on the date of conversion or treatment determined in prescribed manner will be deemed to be the full value of consideration.
