How it is taxed
Not taxed

New Hampshire taxes no individual capital gain in 2025. RSA chapter 77, Taxation of Incomes — the state's only individual income tax, levied on interest and dividend income — carries the annotation "Repealed by 2021, 91:99, II, eff. Jan. 1, 2025" and so reaches no income in tax year 2025.

Short-term gains are treated the same way: New Hampshire reaches no individual capital gain at any holding period.

New Hampshire has no individual income tax base for 2025, so the federal gain is never picked up.

Not modelled: This record covers the individual income tax only. New Hampshire business, excise and property taxes are outside its scope, and a gain realised through a business entity may still meet one of them.

Source: New Hampshire General CourtRSA chapter 77, Taxation of Incomes — repealed by 2021, 91:99, II, eff. Jan. 1, 2025 (retrieved 2026-09-19). Compare every state.

Local income taxes

No New Hampshire municipality levies an individual income or earnings tax.
