Enquiry about the Income Tax due to short Term Capital Gain

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you sell a property less than two years after purchasing it, any profit is considered a short-term capital gain. This gain is taxed according to your income tax slab rate. Crucially, reinvesting the proceeds into a new property does not offer any tax deductions or exemptions when the gain is short-term.

Please advise the Income Tax liability given the short-term Capital gain considering the reinvestment of the whole money for buying a new property.

19 June 2024 Unless you held the property for two years or more, the gain will be short term, and you cannot get any deduction by reinvestment in another house property. The gain will be taxes as per slab rate.
