Hi , While computing Income from Short term Share trading Do We take into account The Service Tax, Securities Transaction Tax,Delivery charges by the Broker into account. Suppose I bought a share @ Rs 10 and sold it a Rs 12 . In the meantime the STT,Service tax , delivery charges add up to Rs. 0.50 so my net profit from this sale is Rs. (12-10-0.5)=Rs. 1.5 or is it Rs. (12-10)= Rs. 2 Income tax is to be paid on rs .1.5 or Rs. 2

You have to pay tax on Rs.1.5.You have to add STT to the profit and have to pay tax. If Stt is Rs 0.1 out of Rs o.5. Your Profit would be 1.6 and has to pay tax on that
