When one buys or sells shares from the NSE/BSE and pays STT these are the additional expenses one incurrs :
Brokerage
GST
Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
Stamp Duty
SEBI Turnover Tax
GST on SEBI Turnover Tax.
What is the correct way to calculate short or long term capital gains on shares?
For example, can GST or STT be considered a "expense"?
