What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital gains tax is a tax on the profit made from selling assets or investments. It applies to the difference between your purchase price (cost basis) and sale price, not the total sale amount.

This tax applies to various investment types including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, real estate, cryptocurrency, precious metals, collectibles, and other capital assets. The tax is only triggered when you sell or dispose of the asset.

Understanding capital gains tax is crucial for investment planning because it significantly impacts your after-tax returns. Strategic timing and tax planning can help minimize your tax liability and maximize your investment gains.
