Q1: What is Capital gains tax?

Capital gains tax is a tax imposed on the profit realized from the sale of certain assets, known as capital assets, which includes investments such as stocks, real estate, bonds, and other assets. When you sell a capital asset for more than its original purchase price, the difference between the sale price (the capital gain) and the purchase price (the cost basis) is considered a capital gain.
