Total capital gains in the U.S. refer to the profit earned from the sale of assets or investments, such as stocks, real estate, and other properties, that have increased in value. These gains can be classified as short-term (for assets held for one year or less) or long-term (for assets held for more than a year), with different tax rates applied to each. The total capital gains can fluctuate annually based on market conditions and individual investment activities, and they are reported on tax returns, influencing overall tax liabilities. As of recent years, capital gains have become a significant focus in discussions about tax policy and economic inequality.
You need to check with a lawyer and/or accountant. In general, though, a capital gains tax can be imposed by only one of the jurisdictions.

It is taxed as income, just like salary. Pretty bad incentive for people to save. It is way higher than capital gains and dividends.
A sales tax typically applies to the sale of goods and services, so a 5 percent sales tax on profits from selling stocks would be unusual, as profits from stock sales are generally subject to capital gains tax instead. Excise taxes are often levied on specific goods, like non-necessities, at a rate of 9 percent in your example. Capital gains tax, however, is usually based on the profit made from the sale of an asset, such as stocks or real estate, rather than a tax per gallon of gas. It’s essential to differentiate between these types of taxes, as they have different applications and rates.
A capital gain refers to the profit realized from the sale of an asset, such as stocks, real estate, or other investments, when the selling price exceeds the purchase price. It is typically classified as either short-term or long-term, depending on how long the asset was held before sale. Short-term capital gains are usually taxed at ordinary income tax rates, while long-term gains may benefit from lower tax rates.
Same as the statute of limitations on any other income tax. For example, if it is a U.S. federal income tax, and a return is required but not filed, then the statute of limitations doesn't start until the return is filed, and then runs for three years, assuming the taxpayer does not leave the US during that time.
