Hi , how to calculate short term capital gain when i brought a few shares and sold them within 12 months. While calculating Income tax on the profit earned do i take the STT,Brokerage charges,Service Tax,delivery handling charges too . Suppose I bought a share @ Rs 20 The broker during buy and sell deducted STT,brokerage,delivery,service tax amounting to Rs 5. I sold the share at Rs 30 What is my total profit on this for calculation of Income tax : 1. 30-20-5= 5 (as Rs. 5 was with the broker and i didn't earn it) or 2. 30-20 =10 . Kindly clarify as my broker is also not helping me ...
