Here are the three:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG):<\/strong> Profit from selling stocks within 12 months of buying them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG):<\/strong> Profit from selling stocks after 12 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dividends:<\/strong> Income received by companies from their profits to their shareholders.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Each of these income types has its own tax implications. Knowing these will help you make better financial decisions, avoid penalties and maximize returns.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_on_Short-Term_Capital_Gains_STCG\"><\/span><strong>Tax on Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/understanding-short-term-capital-gain-tax\/\">Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG)<\/a> is for stocks sold within 12 months of buying them. These gains are taxed at 20% flat for stocks traded on recognized exchanges like NSE or BSE. Securities transaction tax (STT) is applicable and reduces your tax slightly as it\u2019s already been paid during the transaction.<\/p>\n<h3>Example:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Purchase Date: January 2023<\/li>\n<li>Sale Date: December 2023<\/li>\n<li>Capital Gain: \u20b91,00,000<\/li>\n<li>Tax (20%): \u20b920,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, these tax rules are important and even more important is to plan your investment strategy to reduce tax liability. If you want to know how to make the most out of such situations, Entri\u2019s stock market course is the right place to start. This course will give you the knowledge and tools to ensure you are not only profitable but also tax savvy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_on_Long-Term_Capital_Gains_LTCG\"><\/span><strong>Tax on Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) is for stocks held for more than a year. Gains up to \u20b91 lakh are tax free. Gains above \u20b91 lakh are taxed at 15% without indexation. For example, if your long term gains are \u20b91,50,000, you will pay tax only on \u20b950,000 above \u20b91 lakh, i.e. \u20b95,000.<\/p>\n<h3>Example:<\/h3>\n<p>Purchase Date: January 2021<\/p>\n<p>Sale Date: March 2023<\/p>\n<p>Capital Gain: \u20b91,50,000<\/p>\n<p>Tax (15% on \u20b950,000): \u20b97,500<\/p>\n<p>Long-term investing is good and knowing how to balance short-term and long-term investments will help you maximize gains and minimize taxes. <strong>Entri\u2019s stock market course<\/strong> dives deep into how to plan your investments wisely.

These include <strong>dividends<\/strong>, <strong>interest on debentures<\/strong>, and <strong>bonus shares<\/strong>. Let\u2019s focus on dividends, which were once tax-exempt but are now taxable in the hands of the investor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dividends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Earlier dividends were tax free up to a certain limit due to Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) on companies. But from Finance Act 2020 DDT was abolished and now dividends are taxable in the hands of investors as per their income tax slab. For example if you get \u20b950,000 as a dividend and you fall under 20% tax bracket you will have to pay \u20b910,000 as tax.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed about dividend tax rules and manage your stock portfolio better. Interested in knowing how dividends affect your overall tax liability? With Entri\u2019s stock market course, you will get expert insights on how to manage dividends to reduce your tax burden and increase earnings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Do_You_Need_to_Pay_Taxes\"><\/span><strong>When Do You Need to Pay Taxes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stock market investors have to pay taxes on their earnings throughout the year either through advance tax or self assessment tax. If your tax liability on stock market income exceeds \u20b910,000 in a year you have to pay advance tax. Failing to do so will attract interest and penalty.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Income_Tax_Returns_for_Stock_Market_Investors\"><\/span><strong>Income Tax Returns for Stock Market Investors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To be compliant stock market investors need to file their income tax returns (ITR) and report all gains. If you don\u2019t have business income ITR-2 is the right form to file stock market income. Make sure to report both short term and long term gains and dividends. Properly maintaining records of your transactions will make filing easier.<\/p>\n<p>If tax filing is daunting Entri\u2019s stock market course can help. We don\u2019t just teach you how to invest but we also guide you on how to navigate tax landscape.

This can be used to offset future gains and reduce your overall tax liability. Also you can deduct brokerage fees, STT and other trading expenses from your gains before calculating your taxable income.<\/p>\n<p>Carrying forward losses is a powerful tool for smart investors.
