Expert tax planning and return filing for capital gains on real estate properties, stock exchange securities, private company shares, and mutual funds.

Common Issues We Help With:

Core Legal Questions & Court Remedies

CGT depends on the holding period and the difference between recorded purchase cost and FBR/DC valuation at sale. Rates vary progressively from year one up to full statutory relief for longer holding periods.

Sellers pay advance tax under Section 236C, and buyers pay advance tax under Section 236K, with filers paying less than half the rates imposed on non-filers.
