Capital Gains Tax is a levy imposed on the profit realized from the sale of an asset. This tax applies when a digital asset, such as a cryptocurrency or NFT, is sold for a price higher than its original purchase cost. It represents a fiscal obligation on the increase in asset value over a holding period. The calculation typically considers the difference between the selling price and the cost basis of the asset.
