    When you have capital losses recorded, and then sell shares which incur a Gain, it doesn't matter if that gain occurs after he 12 months is up, as it is the full amount of gain (and not half of it) which gets written against the loss. The half price capital gains is lost if you have losses which are greater than the gain at full cost. Some people don't know this but that is a fact.
