I've some shares that were purchased last month. I also had to pay a (quite large) Capital Gains Tax bill at the end of October (after a house sale).
Three of my share purchases are now showing losses of between 1% and 3%. Although the amounts are quite small, if they were to increase in the next 2 weeks, I would consider selling the losers.
Would I be correct in saying that, if I were to sell my losing shares prior to the year-end, I would be entitled to a refund of a small portion of the capital gains tax that I've already paid this year?
