Yes....it can be written off and without any tax effect. As you mentioned there is no transactions in Firm B,,,,but there are debtors in firm B, it means there would have been some sale from Firm B to Firm A, 4 or 5 years back and that sale would have been taken in the ITR of the same proprietor in that particular year....now as the same person is given and receiver in this particular case,,he can write off these debtors in Firm B and close the Firm B without any tax effect. Same would not have been the case in any other entity i.e. partnership firm or Company with same management. Thx.
