Taxes on Your Profits
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax you pay on the profit (the "gain") you make when you sell an asset that has increased in value.π Short-Term vs Long-Term
In many jurisdictions, the tax rate depends on how long you held the asset: 1. Short-Term: Held for less than a year (often taxed as regular income). 2. Long-Term: Held for more than a year (often taxed at lower preferential rates).Strategy: Tax-Loss Harvesting
If you sell some investments at a loss, you can often use those losses to offset your gains, reducing your total tax liability.Results Capital Gains Tax Calculator
