If we are joint assessed and we both sell shares (at the same time ) can one sale gains be offset against the other persons losses when filing returns . ?
My wife’s shares are employee share purchases and mine are just degiro .
 
It appears as if you can - see this section from Irish revenue website section : Capital Gains Tax on sale, gift or exchange of an asset :

Transfer capital losses to spouse or civil partner

You can use the balance against your spouse or civil partner’s gains

Brendan also highlights this on the key post around capital gains tax : Married couples who are jointly assessed may offset against the gain of the other.
 
Great news so , as I’ve made some pig purchases during covid and thankfully my wife’s shares are doing well . Might do it in the next few weeks .
