A simple hack helps you save tax on #stocks and #mutualfunds.

Here’s what you do:

- Sell your investments
- Book profits & losses
- Repurchase immediately

This is called Tax Harvesting

A 🧵on how it’s done.
Let’s first talk about the #tax on #equities.

The profit you book is divided into two buckets.

1. Shot term: If you sell within one year (of purchase)
2. Long-term: If you sell after one year

You pay a higher tax for short-term profits and lower for long-term (Check table)
Now, let’s jump to the sweet part - how to reduce taxes?

You pay LTCG tax only when your gains exceed Rs 1 lakh.

So the trick is not to let your gains go beyond this tax-free limit.

How to do it? Sell a part of your gains to book LTCG and reinvest it.

An example will help.👇

Should you stop SIPPING now?

1. One year doesn’t mean much with #MF #SIPs

a) Those who began an #SIP a year back, i.e, at the start of 2018, may be breaking into a sweat right now because the SIP NAVs of equity funds have dipped anywhere in the range of -2 to -20% in 2018.

b) Still, considering the fact that equities generally do well over the long run negative returns within a period of just 12 months can be safely ignored.

I am embarking on my own #PaperPerDayChallenge where I read at least one paper, well, per day for a whole year. To kick start, nature.com/articles/43573… inspired by @ukrepro Reproducibility Workshop @CumberlandLodge and a talk by @MarcusMunafo
Paper #2: Hard not be cynical about advocates of reproducibile science given most have careers built on the very questionable practices they wish to stamp out, so great to see @russpoldrack tackling this head on and offering great advice along the way 👍 ac.els-cdn.com/S0896627318310…
