How is capital gains tax worked out?
For transfers on or after 23 July 2024, long-term capital gains are taxed at 12.5% without indexation. For land or buildings bought before that date, resident individuals and HUFs can instead pay 20% with indexation if that is lower. On listed equity shares and equity mutual funds, long-term gains above ₹1.25 lakh a year are taxed at 12.5% and short-term gains at 20%. Reinvesting in a house or in specified bonds within the time limits can reduce the tax.
Who needs a tax audit?
A business needs a tax audit if its turnover exceeds ₹1 crore, or ₹10 crore where at least 95% of its receipts and payments are made through banking or digital channels. A profession needs one if gross receipts exceed ₹50 lakh. Businesses on the presumptive scheme that declare lower profits also need an audit.
