Transferring primary residence to a third party designated by the creditor allows for Income Tax exemption

A query was raised regarding whether the exemption for the transfer of a primary residence in satisfaction of a debt applies when the property is transferred to an entity other than the creditor. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that the exemption is applicable if the creditor mandates the transfer to a third party to settle the debt.
