Frequently asked questions
What tax do I pay in India when I sell Tapex shares?
In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the KRW/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain.
