Residential property and Tax on capital gain

November 21, 2020 30023 Views 19 comments Print

When investors make profits on sale of assets like land, shares and mutual fund units, it is termed as capital gains. The investor has to pay tax on the resulting gains that is commonly referred to as capital gains tax. The amount of money outflow from your pocket depends on how long you held the property. If a residential property is held by the seller for more than 36 months, it is considered a long-term investment. For investments over the short term, the short-term capital gain is added to your total income. You will be taxed depending on the tax bracket you fall in. When computing long-term capital gain, a bit more complexity is involved. Indexation is the process by which inflation is taken into account and the purchase price is proportionately increased. Consequently, the amount you end up paying as tax is reduced.
