06 October 2013 Expenses from 1 to 6 are deducted from he sale and added to the purchase cost by the broker itself. So you have to take the net value therefore it is automatically allowed. As regards Interest i.e item No. 7 it depends if it is Short term gains then yes you can adjust the proportion interest and if it is Long term then no it will not be allowed
