Dear stock speculator ji,

For bonus share, the base price will be taken into account as buying price for calculating capital gain in case you choose to sell the share..Your previous buying price of the share will not be taken into account for calculation..All the shareholders who receive bonus share will have same base price irrespective of their buying price.

The base price is quoted by Nepse, and it will be same for all shareholders who receive the bonus share.


If you still have confusion, feel free to reply

thanks admin ji i wanted to know about the capital gain on bs.in this case my base price for bs will be 500 or 600 if it reaches 600 at book close

Dear stock speculator ji,

if you earn profit by doing transactions in secondary market then the capital gain rate is 5%, this rate will be charged to only selling party not buyer.

Suppose if you have a bought share of a particular company, let say 100 units of ABC Co. at Rs 500 and if you sell at Rs 600 in near future, your capital gain will be on the profit amount
i.e. Rs (SP-BP)*quantity*tax rate
=Rs (600-500)*100*0.05
=Rs 500

So you will be tax liable of Rs 500 for your particular transaction.

For cash dividend also the capital gain rate is same

As for bonus share also the capital gain rate is same. In bonus share, your buying price for the share will be the base price of the company which is determined at the book closure date.

i am new in the market and i want to know about the capital gain rate after i got the stocks transferred to my name and on recival of bonus share????
