Capital gains tax
TopicHeard in 2 episodes across 2 shows since Aug 2026
A capital gains tax (CGT) is a tax levied on the profits realized from the sale of non-inventory assets, such as stocks, bonds, precious metals, and real estate. It is only triggered when an asset is sold and the gain is realized, rather than while the asset is still held. Tax rates and regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction, often distinguishing between short-term and long-term holdings.
