capital gains tax
Profit from sales
Capital gains tax is a tax on profit from selling an asset—stocks, real estate, or other investments—for more than its purchase price.
Most tax systems distinguish between short-term gains (assets held briefly, taxed at higher rates) and long-term gains (assets held longer, often taxed favorably): We held the stock for a year to qualify for the lower capital gains tax rate.
