What is Capital Gains Tax?

This is a tax that is imposed on the profits that are realized when an asset is sold for more than its purchase price. Capital gains tax is generally levied on investments such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, and the tax rate may vary depending on the length of time that the asset was held and the individual's tax bracket.
