Dear Experts & Friends,
while calculating tax on income, why should we have to caluclate tax on capital gain seperately & what is the exact meaning of slump sale under this head of income. what is the % of Short & Long Term Capital Gain.
kindly reply as soon as possible
Thank You one & All
Hi
15% for STCG and 20% for LTCG
In case of shares, LTCG is exempted.
It's because you transfer a capital asset, which results in Capital Gains. It is a separate head of income, so computed separately.
Slump Sale is complete transfer for any business or part of an undertaking for a lumpsum consideration. All the assets & Liabilities are transferred for a consideration without separate valuation.

Special rates are applicable to STCG and LTCG only in the following cases :
1. 15% on STCG - If on sale of capital assets, STT was levied..Eg . sale of shares through recognised stock exchange, Sale of Equity Oriented Mutual Fund
2. 20% on LTCG - On every LTCG ,other than covered exempted under SEc 10(38), 20% tax is levied.
That means, if an assessee has acquired a house property on 1.10.2011 and sold it on 1.01.2012, then it will be charged at normal rates.
Normal rates in case of individual means slab rates and company 30% or in case of other assessees as the case may be.
I think that LTCG and STCG is calculated seperately coz the rates of taxes applicable to it are different and fixed whereas other normal income is taxed at slab rates(in case of individuals ) and at 30% for corporates(no change in Corporate tax in budget)
