All the assets and liabilities of the sole proprietary concern relating to the business are considered to be purchased by the newly formed company. This makes the sole proprietor liable to pay taxes for any capital gains calculated on such transfer. However, there is a provision under section 47(xiv) of the Income Tax Act, which lays down certain conditions for exemption from any capital gains i.e.; if they are transferred immediately before the succession, it becomes the assets and liabilities of the company.
