Budget 2024 July

BUDGET 2024 UPDATE :


Tax increased on EQUITY gains





👉🏻Short term capital gains tax (STCG) increased from 15% to 20%





👉🏻Long term capital gains tax (LTCG) increased from 10% to 12.5%


- New Limit of exemption for Long term capital gains will be Rs 1.25 lakh per year
LTCG increased for all but STCG for some assets, right?
 
During covid, every second person with a smart phone has opened a trading account and is invested in stock. That's the reason for the markets current highs and not because the economy is benefiting. Yes there may be some sectors which have grown, but not all. There is a saying in the stock market which goes like.. when the tide rises, even the $hi7 that floats rises... That's the current status of todays market.
The govt wants a piece of this cake so has increased ltcg and stcg.
There will be NO impact of this budget on the market in 6 months or less from now!!

Agree with everything else you've said... However this no change thing keeps being thrown about after any change... How will we know what would have been the level after 6 months if this tax increase didn't happen?

Ofcourse in a growing economy markets keep rising up in long term but to say there is no impact because of tax rise is not backed by the data unless you've a control period where such a rise never happened
