M manninp2 Registered User Messages 84 8 Oct 2013 #1 Is it possible to carry forward a loss made by selling a house for less than you paid for it? For how long can you carry forward the loss? Say I sold a house for a loss of €150,000 In ten years time I sold my business for a gain of €500,000. Would you just pay capital gains tax on the balance?
