Question 1

What is tax-loss harvesting?

Accepted Answer

It is deliberately selling assets at a loss to realise that loss, which then offsets your taxable capital gains and lowers your tax bill. In many jurisdictions unused losses carry forward to future years. Traders often rebuy the same or a similar asset afterwards to keep their market exposure.

Question 2

Are there rules I need to watch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — many tax systems have wash-sale or bed-and-breakfasting rules that disallow the loss if you rebuy the same asset within a set window (often 30 days). Crypto’s treatment varies widely by country and changes often. This calculator gives a ballpark; always confirm the specifics with a qualified tax professional.
