The upside of investment losses

Article Abstract:

Investment losses cam offer some relief from capital gains tax, but investors should understand how the United Kingdom system works if they are to benefit from losses. They cannot benefit from losses on assets where gains are exempt from capital gains tax, such as family homes. There is a time limit for claiming a loss, and it can be deducted from gains so that the total tax bill is reduced. Losses from previous years usually have to be taken into account prior to using allowances.
