Hi, I wanted to understand the treatment of capital gains tax for women who is a Sr. Citizen and does not have any other income. The capital gain is as a result of selling the property jointly held with her son, which has been sold of earlier this year. The property was purchased in 2000, so I believe the tax will be long term capital gains tax, if any.
What I would like clarification is about - - What is the exemption limit for Women Sr. Citizens? - What is the applicable % of tax, beyond the exemption limit, if the capital gains exceeds that limit? Regds
