does we have to file wealth tax return? I thought wealth tax is only for who have more than a total asset of 5ocrore.
I also wanted to know that in my account book how much capital gain entry should i enter. i mean how much my gold is worth of today. how do i calculate that?
Sankaranarayanan (Expert) 23 November 2011
by the certified assessor by the income tax department, you assess it and get certificate from them . But assess the current value and the old value too.
