Capital Gains Tax on Stocks

Understand the concepts behind capital gains, holding periods, cost basis and tax reporting without relying on stale rates.

Tax treatment is jurisdiction-specific and can change, so this guide explains the framework rather than presenting a universal rate.

Gain

A capital gain generally compares disposal proceeds with an applicable cost basis, subject to local rules.

Holding period

Some jurisdictions distinguish short-term and long-term gains.

India and beyond

Use the relevant country guide and current tax authority for the applicable rules before acting.
