Is there a distinction between short term losses and long term losses for CGT purposes?

Hi,

query please. In relation to this article:
https://budgeting.thenest.com/long-wait-before-selling-stock-31057.html

...and this extract:
If you hold it for one year or less, the gains are short-term capital gains and the losses are short-term capital losses.

Is there a distinction in Ireland between short term losses and long term losses as well when crystallising losses?

Thank you very much!

No. That article is about the USA where short term gains are taxed as ordinary income (and will therefore benefit from Trump's new tax bill). In Ireland there is no distinction.

Not quite right - losses on bed & breakfast type transactions cannot be offset against other capital gains

Thank you very much bud_nerd and jpd for your replies. Very appreciated!
