tax loss selling, page-13

dagrub, are you kidding? I'm 99.9% sure that your statement is just for jokes because its not true in my books.

It is true that you can only realise capital losses if you had a capital gain.

I claimed a capital loss a couple of years ago and the accountant told me that it won't take effect that year because I didn't have any capital gain.

However, last year I could claim it as I had a capital gain.

Like other ppl said, ask your accountant if you need further details.
