RE:RE:RE:Capital losses
Right, it only applies to shares hold in non-registered accounts.
CRA's explanation about Line 253 (Net capital losses of other years) states
'Generally, if you had an allowable capital loss in a year, you have to apply it against your taxable capital gains for that year. If you still have a loss, it becomes part of the computation of your current year net capital loss. You can use a current year net capital loss to reduce your taxable capital gains in any of the three preceding years or in any future year.'
It seems to me that we can recoup some money by using the PRE losses against capital gains.
