Frequently Asked Questions

Assets held longer than the required period get lower long-term rates. Shorter holdings are taxed as short-term gains, often at your normal income tax rates.
Which tax year are the rates for?
India uses FY 2026-27, the USA uses 2026 federal figures and the UK uses 2026/27 rates for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scottish rates differ.
Is this the exact tax I will pay?
No. It assumes a salaried individual with standard allowances. Credits, other income, local taxes and special cases can change the amount.
