    General Queries

    Help me understand the Tax Loss Harvesting Tool on ICICI Direct Website.

    The terms used in the Tax Loss Harvesting page on our website are explained below:

    1. Realised profits – Shows the profits realised upon the sale of shares, in the short-term or long-term

    2. Unrealised losses – Shows the losses incurred by the customer on sale of shares

    3. Tax Liability – Shows the amount of taxes the customer is liable to pay before offsetting losses
    4. Tax Saving opportunity – Shows the amount of tax that can be saved by realizing unrealized losses (Note that if unrealised losses are higher than realised gains, the tax saving opportunity amount will remain the same as tax liability)

     

    Other points to remember:

    1. If there are no realised profits or if the unrealised losses are greater than the realised gains, there will be no tax saving opportunity.
    2. The FIFO (First-In First-Out) method is used in Tax Loss Harvesting. If you have holdings making short-term losses and long-term profits in the same stock, the entire holding that is making long-term profits needs to be sold in order to book short-term losses. This will simultaneously book the long-term capital gains for that stock.
