'Y'






Reactions (inspired by the "Common Dreams'’ @)>

The idea of 'gift' -ing' may not after all be a bad one; provided it is done fully conscious but not bothering or entertaining any anxiety over the tax consequences it might entail. But, of course, one may have an escape route; in that, the men -in governance/ - in charge of 'legislation, have, in their wisdom or lack of it, chosen to leave enough loopholes, et al, (for clues look up the material on websites) , charitably for the benefit of those taxpayers and their learned cum shrewd professional advisers who are all the time striving to look for and locate any loophole or other deficiencies, of advantage galore, in the serious business of the framing of tax laws; nonetheless, for own intriguing reasons, are noted to have chosen, ignorantly or otherwise,  not to take on such matters  for the common good, and thereby continue to live, also oblige others to live, in sin, in times to come.

That is, - of earnestly trying to stop acquiring any longer, more and more assets, thereby inviting more and more problems afflicting own peaceful living; in the result, help slowing down the observed increasing tendency to leaning towards the woeful 'capitalism', which is bound to have deleterious impact on the long-ignored / eschewed ideal of "societal welfare" ?????>>>>

Calls for a devoted introspection at least by those, however in minority they are, simply for a change; especially, one for the better.

Add-on :


The write-up, as may have been be readily noted, deals with a 'high-end' property, and developed as an exclusively owned type; particularly, abroad. Hence, that may not be really of any personal concern, so as to be bothered or least worried , by anyone acquiring a property of the special kind, - flat or apartment; more so, in India.
The previously posted comment , however, has reference only to the said special kind of property, and further, if it has its locale within our country (India); hence must be of every concern to acquirers of such property.
