Stock market taxes

POSTED BY Kirubakaran ON February 4, 2013 5:22 pm COMMENTS (3)

Hi

 I work in a software company where my tax payments happen by deduction at source.

 

 I do trading in stocks. For instant, I buy stocks at 50000 and sell at 70000 I get a profit of 20000 and how much do I need to pay taxes?

 

 Will they deduct taxes automatically at the transaction or I need to pay taxes separately as in My Form 16 it would not reflect.

 

 Because, it happened me. As I got some profit last year, but I did nt pay any taxes separately.

 

 Could some one please throw light on this?

    Thanks Ashal,

    Is that mean if I sell share within a year, they will deduct tax and give the rest of the money or do I need to pay the taxes later on March? Please clarify.

    Dear Kirubakaran, the holding period of your stocks ‘ll define your tax liability. If it’s less than 1Y, Tax rate ‘ll be 15.45%. For more than 1Y holding, the tax is zero. Yes the gains are tax free here.

    So please confirm the holding period first.

    Thanks

    Ashal
