how will stock tax cuts help investors?

The recent stock tax cuts in Nepal are designed to help investors by reducing the capital gains tax to 3.75% for shares held over 365 days and 5% for shorter holding periods. This lower tax rate encourages longer-term investment and makes trading more attractive. Additionally, investors will now be allowed to adjust losses against gains, which can reduce their overall tax burden and provide more flexibility in managing their portfolios. These reforms are part of a broader 21-point action plan aimed at boosting the stock market, including new IPO rules and bond market expansion, which have already contributed to a rise in the Nepse index.
