Capital Gains are calculated as the difference between the price you paid for a security and price you received for the security at the time of sale. Depending on the length of time the security is held, different tax calculations are used.
If a security is held less than year, the gain is considered short-term and taxed based on the investor's personal income tax rate. If the security is held longer than a year, the gain is taxed at a fixed rate of twenty percent.
If you hold mutual funds, this is distributed once a year and the taxes are the obligation of the investor. This is only applicable in a taxable mutual fund held outside of tax-deferred accounts. Even if the capital gains are reinvested in a taxable mutual fund, the investor is obligated to pay the taxes on the gain.
