Quick Summary
When calculating capital gains tax on a sold residential property, you can reduce your tax liability beyond just indexation. Costs like stamp duty, registration fees, and brokerage, both at the time of purchase and sale, can be offset. Furthermore, any improvements made to the property, when indexed, are also deductible. Don't forget to explore exemptions under Section 54 to potentially save your capital gains.
