SIX more trading days for Tax-loss BUYING/Selling ...
Last Trading Date 2017
The last trading date for 2017 for Canadian publicly traded stocks will be Wednesday December 27th in order to record the gain or loss in the 2017 taxation year. Canadian stocks purchased or sold after December 27th are settled in 2018, so any capital gains or losses on sale apply to the 2018 tax year instead of to the 2017 tax year. The Canadian stock exchanges, such as the TSX, are closed on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day (Monday, Dec 25th and Tuesday, Dec 26th).
The last trading date for 2017 for US publicly traded stocks will also be Wednesday, December 27th. The US exchanges, such as NASDAQ, NYSE and CBOE, are not closed for Boxing Day.
