Budget and Short-term Investor,

(102043)
Friday, June 3, 2016 03:24 PM 

Now this is the test of the strength of short-term investors: whether there are able to absorb this shock of taxation: im my personal view very weak investors will leave the ground whereas somewhat stronger investors will sustain and market will come to normal after a few days. Comments please.

Budget not Approved yet. Opposition Rejected it.

This is common practice that opposition rejects the budjet every year but govt will get it pass through NA due to their simple majority
I am a non DHA investor and can easily see that 10% is not a small number so ex DHA property will come down speedily
During last year 0.4% wht was imposed on transactions but market absorbed that shock due to its small volume

As far as DHA is concerned big fish play here for example 2 or 3 lac for a prisim kanal plot extra tax on profit does not mean for them. This may be said for whole DHA as well

Ch sb previously gain tax was only 1% and it was applicable till 2 years after purchase
Now its 10% and is applicable till 5 years
I was also planning to sale my prisim plot in ramzan ul Mubarak
This is my 1st deal in DHA let's hope for the best
Cheers

One more thing its on DC rates not on profits
How Govt can calculate one's profit. Either u r selling with one crore profits or selling with 10 lac loss one have to deposit 10% WHT on DC rates

@ Tahir. You seem to be right.
