Taxability of STCG when the total income falls below the non-taxable limit


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If your total income, including any short-term capital gains (STCG), falls below the basic income tax exemption limit (currently £2,50,000), you generally won't have to pay any tax on that STCG. This means even if you have a capital gain, your overall low income means no tax is due.

16 April 2022 I have an STCG of Rs.16,000 from the sale of listed shares. However, my total income from all sources is Rs.1,40,000 which falls below the non-taxable limit of Rs.2,50,000. Whether I am liable to pay a tax of Rs.2,400 @15% on the STCG of Rs.16,000 or my tax liability is NIL due to my total income falling below the non-taxable limit?

16 April 2022 Your tax liability is NIL due to your total income falling below the non-taxable limit.


16 April 2022 No you are not liable to pay any tax.
