Tax implication on sale of equity oriented mutual fund

29 July 2013 I have both short term and long term capital gains from sale of units of Fidelity Equity Fund (during the one month open window period when Fidelity Equity Fund was being taken over/merged with L&T Mutual Fund). Now LTCG should be tax-exempt on the sale of the equity units and the STCG should attract 15%. This is provided Securities Transaction Tax has been paid. Am I correct?

Now, during the open window period, Fidelity re-purchased the equity units without exit load. Fidelity also bore the Security Transaction Tax. Hence, Fidelity bore the Security Transaction Tax and not me. Does my not paying the STT but Fidelity paying the STT, change the situation?

Even if Fidelity paid the STT, LTCG will still be tax exempt and STCG will attract the usual 15% for me. Is this correct? Thanks.

29 July 2013 You are right that you are in tax backet of 15% + 3% and your problem can be solved like you add STT in your income and show the same as paid as the compn your behalf. You should procure the letter from the company for payment of STT.
