capital gains taxes
Appreciation income tax
Capital gains taxes are taxes levied on profit from selling an asset—stocks, real estate, artwork—for more than you paid.
The tax applies to the gain, not the total sale price.
Most tax systems distinguish between short-term gains (assets held briefly, taxed at higher rates) and long-term gains (held longer, taxed more favorably).
