Frequently Asked Questions
In the case of transfer of shares is there any Tax that is liable?
Yes, in the case of transfer of shares, there may be tax liabilities depending on the nature of the transfer and the applicable tax laws. If the shares are held for a period of less than 12 months, the transfer may attract short-term capital gains tax, which is calculated based on the difference between the sale price and the cost of acquisition. If the shares are held for more than 12 months, long-term capital gains tax may apply, which is calculated at a lower rate. The tax liability may vary depending on the type of share and the residency status of the buyer and the seller.

We incorporated a company but we do not have a share certificate, how can we transfer shares of my company?
In order to transfer shares of a company, it is necessary to have share certificates. If your company has not issued share certificates, you must first issue them to the shareholders. Once the share certificates are issued, the transfer of shares can take place through a share transfer deed. The share transfer deed must be executed by both the transferor and the transferee, and it must be stamped and registered with the Registrar of Companies.
