FAQs on Capital Gain (Section 45 to 55A) - Part - 1 - Fast Track Quick Revision Income Tax - Taxation

1. What is capital gain?
Ans. Capital gain is the profit obtained from the sale of a capital asset, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or precious metals. It is the difference between the selling price of the asset and its original purchase price.
2. How is capital gain taxed?
Ans. Capital gain is subject to taxation based on the holding period of the asset. If the asset is held for less than a year, it is considered a short-term capital gain and taxed at the individual's ordinary income tax rate. If the asset is held for more than a year, it is considered a long-term capital gain and taxed at a lower rate, depending on the individual's income level.
3. Are there any exemptions or deductions available for capital gains?
Ans. Yes, there are certain exemptions and deductions available for capital gains. For example, if the capital gain arises from the sale of a primary residence, a certain portion may be excluded from taxation. Additionally, individuals may be able to offset capital gains with capital losses or claim deductions for investment-related expenses.
4. What is the difference between short-term and long-term capital gains?
Ans. The main difference between short-term and long-term capital gains is the holding period of the asset. If an asset is held for one year or less before being sold, it is considered a short-term capital gain. If the asset is held for more than one year, it is considered a long-term capital gain. The tax treatment for short-term and long-term capital gains differs, with long-term gains generally being taxed at a lower rate.
5. Are there any specific rules for capital gains on inherited assets?
Ans. Yes, there are specific rules for capital gains on inherited assets. When an individual inherits an asset, the cost basis of the asset is generally adjusted to its fair market value at the time of the original owner's death. This means that if the inherited asset is later sold, the capital gain or loss is calculated based on the difference between the selling price and the fair market value at the time of inheritance. This step-up in basis can often result in a lower capital gain or even no capital gain at all.
