Taxability of Short Term Capital Gain on Shares

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the tax implications of short-term capital gains from selling shares. It confirms there's no threshold limit for these gains. You can indeed claim expenses such as brokerage, SEBI charges, STT, and stamp duty against your short-term gains or losses as part of the cost. The method for calculating short-term capital gains on shares is consistent with other short-term gains, unlike property sales where expense deductibility might differ.
