Hi

With regard to shares bought and sold within a 4 week period any loss cannot be offset against other CGT gains (apart from the same shares reacquired in the same 4 week period)


Does this rule only apply to shares or does it also apply to options which by their nature are for shorter duration? for instance if an option contract expires within 3 weeks, can any loss be offset against other CGT gains?
