The capital gains inclusion rate refers to how much of a capital gain is included in your income for tax purposes. Since 2000, only one-half of a capital gain has been taxable. In that year, the inclusion rate decreased twice from three-quarters to two-thirds to one-half.
What is a capital gain?
A capital gain is the increase in value on any asset or security since the time it was purchased, and it is “realized” when the asset or security is sold. (Similarly, a capital loss is realized when you sell an asset that has decreased in value since the time of purchase.) Capital gains (or losses) can happen on stocks, mutual funds and real estate.
