Middle Class Cheated In Budget?
Summary
TLDRThe video discusses the latest budget and its impact on various sectors, particularly middle-class investors. It highlights changes in long-term capital gains (LTCG) taxes, such as increased holding periods and altered tax rates, which could burden investors more than before. While some sectors like gold may see reduced customs duties, other areas like real estate face increased taxation due to the removal of indexation benefits. The video critiques the government's decisions, suggesting they may not meet public expectations and could negatively impact the market and investor behavior in the future.
Takeaways
- 📉 The budget seems to have disappointed many, especially the middle class, as they expected more benefits but faced higher tax burdens.
- 🌾 Sectors like agriculture and manufacturing might benefit from the budget, but the middle class is expected to bear a significant tax burden.
- 💼 The long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) has been increased from 10% to 12.5%, and the holding period for long-term investments has been extended from one year to two years.

- 🚫 The Angel Tax, which was levied on startups selling shares at a price higher than their valuation, has been completely abolished, benefiting startups.
- 📉 Corporate tax for foreign companies has been reduced from 40% to 35%, still higher than domestic companies, which might not be as attractive as expected.
