This discussion clarifies capital gains tax rates for a proprietor whose income tax limit has been exceeded. For equity, short-term capital gains (STCG) are taxed at 15%, and long-term capital gains (LTCG) are taxed at 10% after a £1 lakh exemption. Futures & Options (F&O) and intraday trading profits are taxed at the individual's slab rate, with F&O falling under speculative business.
I am an accountant in a proprietor firm, the owner has already crossed 30% limit of IT, now getting long & short term profit from Equity & FO. my question is what rate is applicable for those capital gain?
