RE:RE:Capital Loss - 2024 Tax Planning Strategy
RE:RE:Capital Loss - 2024 Tax Planning StrategyYou are correct KH, this only applies to Cash Trading Accounts. A Capital Loss for a TFSA or RRSP account cannot be claimed. However, there may be a provision (I have no idea for sure without calling the CRA) for claiming a Capital Loss against a TFSA account
IF the TFSA account trading activiity is so active that the CRA has deemed the TFSA (or a portion of it as taxable). Most people (including myself until recently) have a perception that a TFSA can't be taxed (hence the term Tax Free) but the CRA actually has rules that if a TFSA is being actively traded, it can be subject to tax the same as a Cash Trading Account. So TFSA day traders best do your homework to avoid an unexpected tax bill. I suggest a few Google searches about TFSA account trading on the CRA website to clarify when a TFSA can become taxable.
Here's another link regarding the initial topic with a bit more detail in general.
