Dear Sir/ Madam,

 

I am having a query regarding sale of listed equity shares within one year of holding. What would be the tax that I would have to pay. I am in the 30 % tax bracket. Will the short term gain added to my personal income or is taxed at a different rate?

 

Thankd

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses queries about the tax implications of selling listed equity shares within a year. Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) on listed shares are taxed at a separate rate of 15%. This gain is added to your total income, but it is not double-taxed; the STCG is taxed at 15% while other income is taxed at your usual 30% bracket rate.

@ Online Query, does it mean that firstly STCG will be taxed at 15% and then the remaining amount added to my total income in which case I would be taxed again at 30%. Will it not be double tax?
