During the subsistence of a partnership, a partner does not possess an interest in specie in any particular asset of the partnership. During the subsistence of a partnership, a partner has a right to obtain a share in profits. On dissolution of a partnership or upon retirement, a partner is entitled to a valuation of his share in the net assets of the partnership which remain after meeting the debts and liabilities. An amount paid to a partner upon retirement, after taking accounts and upon deduction of liabilities, does not involve an element of transfer within the meaning of section 2(47) of the Act. Therefore, there is no transfer of capital asset by way of a distribution of the capital assets, on the dissolution of a firm or otherwise.

2) On retirement of assessee-partner from the firm there was no element of transfer of interest in partnership assets by the retired partner to the continuing partners and the excess amount received by him was not assessable to capital gains

Hello,

No the partner will not be liable for any capital gains, since no transfer of capital asset has taken place.

1. Capital gain taxd is paid on the gain derived out of the investment of capital made.

2. In the instant case, there has been no investment made by the partners for making capital gain when the said properties have been transferred in their names as consideration. So, they won't have to pay any Capital Gain Tax.

3. However, they shall have to get the valus of the said properties transferred in their names as consideration and shall have to pay Income Tax at appropriate rate by showing the said value as income in their Income Tax Return of subsequent year.

The company which transferred this property towards some consideration shall be liable to pay the LTCG tax.

If you are the owner of the company then you have to pay the long term capital gains tax on behalf of the company.
