Hi there, I've been looking up tax loss claims throughout and seems not so much luck when it mixes with CFD trading.


Based on past experience and research, I understand CFD losses are deductible under "other deductions" session, while I also understand any tax loss from previous FY can be carry forward to future years (and can be carried infinitely for individuals). My question is, if I ended up with tax loss due to CFD trading in the previous year, can I apply the tax loss balance into this year's tax return?


A simple example:

Assume in 2022-2023:

Accessible income is 10,000

CFD trading loss: -25,000

Results in Taxable income = -15,000


In 2023-24 tax return:

Accessible income is 10,000


Question: Can I apply the -15,000 tax loss from the previous year and include this into the tax loss session of mytax?


Regards

Hi @LazyBone


Yes you can claim your tax loss, it needs to be claimed at the first opportunity. Going by your scenario you'll have 5,000 leftover so you'll carry that forward.
