This discussion addresses the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax implications when selling a house purchased jointly by a couple. Both individuals are considered co-owners, and the capital gain should technically be declared under both PANs. Unless a different ownership ratio is specified in the purchase agreement, the capital gain is typically divided equally between the owners.
