Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax on the profit you make when you sell or dispose of an asset that has increased in value. It is the gain that is taxed — not the full sale price. The gain is the difference between what you paid for the asset (cost basis) and what you received when you sold it, minus any allowable costs.
Most countries apply different CGT rates depending on how long you held the asset (short-term vs long-term), the type of asset, and your overall income. Some countries — including Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UAE — charge no CGT at all, making them attractive for investors.
A 150% gain on paper may look impressive, but what matters is your after-tax return. CGT can significantly reduce net proceeds, particularly on short-term gains taxed as ordinary income.
Waiting until you cross the 12-month threshold for long-term treatment can dramatically reduce your US tax rate — from up to 37% (short-term) to just 15% or 20% (long-term).
Every allowable cost — brokerage, stamp duty, legal fees, renovation work — reduces your taxable gain. Correctly tracking your cost basis over years can save thousands in tax.
Having a clear CGT calculation ready makes tax filing faster and reduces errors. Export the detailed breakdown as CSV or PDF directly for your accountant or records.
Considering where to hold investments or relocate? Compare CGT across countries — from 0% in Singapore and Hong Kong to 30%+ in Sweden and France — and model the real impact.
