What is Capital Gains Tax?
Capital Gains Tax is a tax levied on the profit (or 'capital gain') realized from the sale of a capital asset. A capital asset can be property, land, stocks, mutual funds, gold, or bonds. The tax is categorized into Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) and Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) based on the asset's holding period.
