How will 15% tax upon capital gain affect ?

Published by on September 22, 2008

Finance Minister, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai increased capital gain tax from 10% to 15% for public. So from now onwards whatever profit you make by selling your scrips, you will have to pay 15% tax on that profit. This new law might heavily reduce frequent smaller transactions, which in turn will be heavily affecting small investors or so called retail investors.

After reviewing the budget its clearly evident, this budget will be hitting very hard on the urban middle class society; Dr. Bhattarai introduced 5 percent Health Service Tax and Education Tax on fees charged by private health service providers and education institutions. Now, 5% increase in tax upon capital gain will just make life miserable for middle class.

What do you guys think ?
