Consider, for example, an investor who purchased one share of ABC Co. for $100\/share. Following a market downturn, one share of ABC Co. now trades at $80\/share. If the investor were to sell their ABC Co. share, they would realize or trigger a capital loss of $20 ($100 \u2013 $80).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax-loss harvesting is a tax strategy whereby an investor sells or otherwise disposes of a non-registered investment or other capital property with the intention of realizing a capital loss for tax purposes as described above.<\/strong>\u00a0Once a capital loss has been realized by the investor, these losses can be used to generate a tax benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefit of capital losses for income tax purposes is that they can be used to offset capital gains realized by the investor. To continue our example, suppose that the investor also held one share of XYZ Co. in their portfolio. The investor purchased one share of XYZ Co. at a price of $100\/share. Due to its defensive nature, XYZ Co. appreciated during the market downturn and now trades at $120\/share. If the investor were to sell their XYZ Co. share, they would realize a capital gain of $20\/share ($120 \u2013 $100).<\/p>\n<p>When it comes time to prepare the investor\u2019s income tax return, they will need to include the realized capital gain on the sale of XYZ Co. However, they may also include the harvested loss on the sale of their ABC Co. share. Essentially, the loss on the ABC Co. share can be used to offset the gain on the XYZ Co. share leaving the investor with no additional income or taxes as a result of these transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0d3d5da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0d3d5da\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9c767e0\" data-id=\"9c767e0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57cfdb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57cfdb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Capital losses in excess of capital gains for the year can be carried back three taxation years to offset past capital gains, or carried forward indefinitely to offset future capital gains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0bee976 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0bee976\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4869003\" data-id=\"4869003\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e117bb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e117bb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h3>When Should You Consider Tax-Loss Harvesting?<\/h3>\n<p>Below are some of the more common circumstances that might warrant implementing this strategy:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The investor reported significant capital gains in one or all of the three immediately preceding tax years.
