One can express the impact of deferred capital gain taxes using an effective capital gain tax rate that adjusts the capital gains tax rate tcg to reflect previously taxed dividends, income, or realized capital gains. The effective capital gains tax rate can be expressed as7
T* = tcg(1 – pi – pd – pcg)/(1 – piti – pdtd – pcgtcg)

As the paragraph, I don’t want to just remember the formula. I want to understand how do we come up with this T* = tcg(1 – pi – pd – pcg)/(1 – piti – pdtd – pcgtcg). In the curriculum didn’t explain.
Thanks a lot
