CGT loss question

    Hey guys,


    I just have a few quick questions on calculating my cgt liability. Im also ignoring the person exemption in my sample calculations below as well.

    1.If i make a gain of 5k in jan to Nov, and a loss of 1k in Dec. I also make 0 gains or losses in 2022. Come the end of 2022. Will i get a 1k tax refund due to my loss of 1k in the calendar year of 21 or can i only use the dec 1k loss in gains going forward. Im a little confused on the calendar year or is jan to nov and dec completely separate and not like a prepayment you would do for income tax such as rental income etc.


    2.Its again linked to how cgt loss and how it works.

    Sell stock A and make a realised loss of 1k on Jan 15th.

    Sell Stock B and make a realised gain of 1k on Jan 16th.

    I make no other transactions for the remainder of the year. Does this mean i have a gain of 1k i need to pay taxes on and i have to carry the loss forward to the next year OR they balance each other out in the same Jan to Nov time frame?
