About this document
Understanding Capital Gains Tax Basics by Randy Manzano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Capital gains tax applies to the sale of capital assets held for over a specified period of time. For corporate taxpayers, capital losses can be deducted from ordinary income but cannot be carried forward. For individuals, capital losses exceeding gains can be carried forward to offset capital gains in future years. The tax treatment depends on whether the asset is considered ordinary or capital. Gains from the sale of capital assets are generally taxed at lower capital gains tax rates.
