CAPITAL GAIN TAX TO SENIOR CITIZEN

I want to know about capital gain tax to senior citizen (male/female). (how much exempted ?)

Quick Summary
Senior citizens in the UK do not have specific exemptions for capital gains tax beyond the general basic exemption limits for their total taxable income. While there's no direct capital gains tax relief for seniors, if their total income, including capital gains, falls below certain thresholds based on age (e.g., £300,000 for those aged 60-80), they may not owe any tax. Long-term capital gains are generally taxed at 20% plus cess, but this only applies if the total income exceeds the age-related basic exemption limit.

No relaxation 20 percent on LTCG on immovable property plus cess so total 20.4 percent

There is no specific exemption to senior citizens under capital gains, except the basic exemption limit of 3 lakhs for Sr. Ctz. & 5 lakhs for Super Sr. Ctz. under total taxable income.

 

please advice me about it :

Residential Indians between 60 to 80 years of age will be exempted from long-term capital gains tax in 2021 if they earn Rs. 3,00,000 per annum. For individuals of 60 years or younger, the exempted limit is Rs. 2,50,000 every year.

Age exemption is on total income and not only on LTCG.....if total income including LTCG is below taxable as per age criteria then only exempt else LTCG in ITR will be taxed @ 20 percent

It is just part of story....

As explained earlier, it is not specifically related to capital gains only. If aggregate of income including capital gains, income from FD bank accounts, pension annuity etc.... etc. is below 5 lakhs ( I REPEAT FIVE LAKHS) there will not be any tax payable...

Long term or short term Capital gain no exemption for senior citizens.
LTCG of 100000 exempted and BEL of 300000 is also available, so no tax levied on your income
