    Jonathan will pay 15% of his gains as capital gains tax now.

    That is 15% of $300000=$45000

    Explanation:

    In answering this question, some assumptions need be made, they are as follows:

    1. I assume that Jonathan is single

    2. The disposal proceeds from the sale of stock is his only income for 2020, in other words his income is $400,000.

    In agreement with tax laws, a single person with income between $40001 and $441,450 will pay capital gains tax 15% on the gains.
