21 November 2012 Service tax, transaction tax and brokerage paid at the time of purchase shall be added to the cost of the asset.

Similarly, service tax, transaction tax and brokerage paid at the time of sale shall be reduced from the selling price.

Please note that Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is NOT allowed as deduction.

Accordingly it will NOT be added to the cost and it will NOT be reduced from the selling price.
