All my shares are US shares. Therefore, there will be no stamp duty. I'm with a very cheap broker where the commission for selling will be $1 per transaction.
Sorry, my 1 - 3% loss figure is in US dollars. With the dollar now very weak, I've worked out my losses (when converted back to Euros) for my worst performing shares to be up to 18%:
Gain €... Potential Tax Rebate
(208.78).. 41.76
(144.98).. 29.00
(137.68).. 27.54
(138.57).. 27.71
(91.01).. .18.20
(84.02).. .16.80
(21.89).. ...4.38
(17.20).. ...3.44
(2.28).. .....0.46
Therefore, as I have paid a substantial capital gains this year already and I will not be able to get any rebate of any of this unless I suffer a capital loss this year, I think I'll probably sell the six worst performers from above.
At the current rate, this should mean that I'll get a tax refund of about 160 euro. Whilst it's true that these shares could rise in value, I should be able to select another few shares that should perform equally as well (and I'll have an extra 160 to kickstart them).
