Q: Hello. I know that you aren’t tax specialists, but I would value your opinion on this.
If one sells ENB in a non-registered account and sells to capture a tax loss, would the conversion of ENF to ENB shares in a registered account within 30 days before count as a wash and disallow a portion or all of the loss?

Q: Good morning,
MUX announced new financing last night,it consists of a US $15,000,000 bought deal private place offering of 6,634,000 flow-through common shares priced at US$2.26. This offering price is at a 26% premium to the closing price yesterday of US $1.81. The stock price has been below US$2.26 for 6 weeks, why would anyone pay a 26% premium when they could have bought all the stocks they wanted at a lower price in the open market the last 6 weeks?
Thanks, George

Q: Hi
Please help me understand this. What is the net difference between $1 in dividend from an eligible Cdn. company ( eg. ENB) vs. $1 “ dividend “ ( dividend and ROC) from a pure play Cdn. ETF ( eg. ZWU) ? Assume a non- Registerred Account that pays no tax.

Q: tax question - I want to move a stock with a capital loss from a non-registered account to TFSA. I know I need to wait 30 days after selling the stock to buy it back in the TFSA. What about FIRST buying the stock in the TFSA, then afterwards (say the next day) selling the stock in the non-registered account and utilizing the capital loss. Is that process OK?
Q: Stock loss selling/ re-buy within a 30 day period.
If a stock is sold at a loss within a TFSA where a capital loss cannot be claimed, can the stock be repurchased at any time after the sale? i.e. no 30 day waiting period.
Similarly, can that stock (sold in a TFSA) be repurchased in another account be it unregistered or an RRSP?
Thanks.

Q: I sold SIS at 19 for a gain
I also sold PHO at 1.18 for a loss
The gain offset the loss on the above stocks.
I realize that I cannot buy PHO back within 30 days or CRA will deny the loss. But I can buy SIS back within 30 days, Right?
Thanks

Q: Re: Tax Loss Selling. I understand that a loss counts if you wait 30 days before repurchasing. However, what if you repurchased in a different account in less than 30 days. Who the loss hold up? Thx Frank
Q: The Nov.19 response to the tax treatment of GIC interest question is not quite accurate.
Most interest received is treated on a cash basis, so on a 1 year GIC a holder must only wait for the issuer's T5.
As for a COMPOUND interest GIC beyond one year, the second part of your response would apply, except it is the onus of the issuer to do the accounting and issue T5s.
