Tax implications of Mutual Funds.

Returns on Mutual Funds are treated as Capital Gains.

Redeeming an Equity Fund held for > 1 year.
Long Term Capital Gain.
No capital gain tax.
You pay only STT.

Redeeming an Equity Fund held for < 1 year.
Short Term Capital Gain.
You pay Capital gain tax @ 15% + surcharge (if applicable) + cess + STT.

Redeeming a Dept Fund held for > 1 year.
Long Term Capital Gain.
You pay capital gain tax @ 10% ( without indexation ).
Or
You pay capital gain tax @ 20% ( with indexation ).
Whichever is less.
Indexed or inflated purchase cost = Purchase cost X Present Index divided by Purchase Index
You pay LTCG tax + surcharge (if applicable) + cess + STT.


Redeeming a Dept Fund held for < 1 year.
Short Term Capital Gain.
You pay tax on capital gain at the personal tax rate applicable to you.

Dividends paid by mutual funds are tax free in the hands of the recepient.

If you sell back these Units to the Funds after holding them for at least a year, the appreciation paid to you in addition to your original investment will be tax free if they are equity based funds. If you sell these units even before one year is completed then these gains will be taxable as short term capital gains at the rate of 15% plus applicable education cess.

If they are debt based funds, then, the capital gains or appreciation will be taxed as capital gains.



pratik
no they are exempt if they are transferred after one year otherwise they are taxed as short term capital gains

Returns by way of dividend is fully exempted from Income Tax, if you sell the fund within one year then it will be taxable as a short term capital gain otherwise the profit will also exempted under long term capital gain

It's going to be taxed as capital gains when you sell or if you have dividends. But as far as a gain in value, it's not taxed unless you cash out.


msegar
OH YES.....If you sold them for more than you bought them. You pay taxes on the difference.

depends how much you have made, but usually yes. (i would consult with your acct about this matter)

not in all mutual funds. there are few mutual funds which are not taxable

If you buy a mutual fund for $100 and sell it for $150, you pay capital gains tax on $50 as long as you hold it for a full year. If less than a year, the $50 becomes ordinary income.

This assumes you did not reinvest any dividends or previous gains. If you did then your tax amount will be less in the example above

There are a few MF where dividends are not taxable upto certain range, but in word the entire returns MF investments are taxable if it cross the slab or the limit. You should go through the magazine - Mutual Fund Insight, to know everything about MF.
