22 July 2010 Dear Experts,

When we purhcase or sell a share, the price is breakdown as follows:

Buy:
grossprice + brokerage + servicetax + STT + StampDuty + TurnoverCharge

Sell:
grossprice - brokerage - servicetax - STT - StampDuty - TurnoverCharge

My query is what is the cost price/selling price of my shares. IS it Gross price or net price or any other? Pls let me know.

I have read that when calculating Long term or Short term capital gains, STT should not be included..

Also How do I keep entries of my shares in ACCOUNT BOOKS?

Selling Price:

STT not allowable expenditure by virtue of section 48 for capital gains.

If business of trading in share is there then STT allowable otherwise not.
