Ltcg tax when losses

Tax queries 141 views 4 replies

Dear Sir/Madam,

If I sell  shares (that I have been holding for a long time)  that I have now, but the current price of the share is less than what it was on 31-Jan-2018, then with that price there's a loss incurred.

Do I need to pay any tax on the amount received after selling shares?

Thanks & Regards.

To compute the gain or loss you incurred, you have to compare your selling price with the amount at which you purchased those shares! if you incur loss , then you don't have to pay any tax as the tax is required to be paid on the gain you have got!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I understood (some internet article it seems) that you compare it against the price of the share as on 31-Jan-2018 keeping in mind the indexed value.

Thanks and regards

Dear sir,

thanks for informing about this update ! & yes , You are correct at this stage ! With the update , you have to compute the LTCG by following process :


LTCG= Sale price - Cost of acquisition


now , Cost of acquisition will be Higher of
1. The actual cost of acquisition
or
2. the lower of,
a.Fair marker value on 31.1.2018
b.Sell price

Thanks again & Regards!

But I think that's only a proposal! And it's not come into effect yet! So first of all confirm it!
