Tax and investment on capital gains

235 views 5 replies

Hi Sir,

My queries regarding income tax on capital gains are as below

  • If I make profit (short term or long term) of ₹ 2,00,000 profit after sale of shares can I buy 4 wheeler to claim tax returns ?
  • if I make profit of ₹1,00,000 on sale of house can I invest the profit in buying shares of any company in the same financial year ?

No you can not save taxes like this

1. Not directly, but tax liability can reduce if you have any other income under normal slab rate.

2. Yes, you can purchase anything, but CG tax will not reduce. To reduce the LTCG tax liability you need to invest in Capital Gains bonds u/s. 54EC of the act.

1. you cannot claim sec 54 benefit against buying of 4 wheeler. But can be set off against short term Capital loss.
2. point 2 ok Sec 54EC

how much tax do I need to pay on capital gains of stocks ? And can I claim tax benefit if I repay house loan from capital gains on stocks ?

XPLS PROVISE REALISTIC SITUATION ABD KEEP ME POSTED ASAP. you can claim tax benefit if u repay house loan.
