Hi,

For the purpose of income tax calculation, is the brokerage on share purchase and sale counted as loss?

Thanks.

  1. Brokerage is added as a cost component.

    Shares bought: Rs. 100
    Brokerage: Rs. 1
    Total cost: 101

    Sale Price: 105
    Brokerage: 1.2
    Total proceeds from sale: 103.8

    Profit = 103.8 – 101 = 2.8

    HTH
