Question

What is securities transaction tax (stt)?

Answer 1

The securities transaction tax (STT) was introduced in India a few years ago, to stop tax avoidance of capital gains tax. Earlier, many people usually didn’t declare their profits on the sale of stocks and avoided paying capital gains tax. The government could tax only those profits, which have been declared by people. It can be defined as securities transaction tax (stt).
