Chart 5 – Applying net capital losses of other years to 2022 (for taxpayers with a pre-1986 capital loss balance)
Note
The CRA offers a printer-friendly version of this chart that is identical to the one in the PDF version of the Capital Gains guide.
Use this chart to apply your net capital losses of other years to 2022 and to calculate your balance of unapplied net capital losses you can carry forward to a future year.
When you complete this chart, replace "IR" with your inclusion rate for 2000. This rate is from line 16 in part 4 of Schedule 3 for 2000, or from your notice of assessment or latest notice of reassessment for 2000.
Step 1 – Pre-1986 capital loss balance available for 2022
Complete this step only if you have a balance of unapplied net capital losses from before May 23, 1985. Otherwise, enter "0" on line 3 and go to Step 2.
1. Balance of unapplied net capital losses you had before May 23, 1985
2. Capital gains deductions you claimed:
Before 1988
In 1988 and 1989
+ Blank space for dollar value
From 1990 to 1999
In 2000
From 2001 to 2021
Total capital gains deductions after adjustment
3. Pre-1986 capital loss balance available for 2022 (line 1 minus line 2)
Step 2 – Applying net capital losses of other years to 2022
Complete lines A to C in Step 3 of this chart before proceeding.
4. Total unapplied adjusted net capital losses of other years (total from line C in Step 3)
5. Taxable capital gains from line 12700 of your 2022 income tax and benefit return
6. Enter the amount from line 4 or 5, whichever is less.
7. You can apply all or part of the amount on line 6 against your taxable capital gains in 2022. Enter on line 7 the amount of losses you want to claim.
If you did not complete Step 1, enter the amount from line 7 on line 25300 of your 2022 income tax and benefit return. This is your 2022 deduction for net capital losses of other years. Do not complete lines 8 to 15, and enter this same amount on line 16 in Step 3. However, complete lines D to G in Step 3 of this chart to calculate the balance of unapplied net capital losses available to carry forward to future years.
If you completed Step 1, complete lines 8 to 16 and lines D to G in Step 3 of this chart to calculate the balance of unapplied net capital losses available to carry forward to future years.
8. Balance of unapplied adjusted net capital losses of other years not used to reduce taxable capital gains (line 4 minus line 7)
9. Amount from line 8
10. Amount from line 3
11. Pre-1986 deductible amount
12. Enter the amount from line 9, 10, or 11, whichever is less
13. Deduction in 2022 for net capital losses of other years (line 7 plus line 12).
Enter the amount from line 13 on line 25300 of your 2022 income tax and benefit return and complete Step 3 to calculate the balance of unapplied net capital losses available to carry forward to future years.
Step 3 – Calculating your balance of unapplied net capital losses of other years available to carry forward
14. Amount from line 7
15. Amount from line 12
16. Total adjusted net capital losses of other years applied in 2022 (line 14 plus line 15)
When you complete this table, replace "IR" with your inclusion rate for 2000. This rate is from line 16 in part 4 of Schedule 3 for 2000, or from your notice of assessment or latest notice of reassessment for 2000.
