Hi,

I received shares from an employer via RSUs, tax was paid at time of vesting. They have now appreciated to a gain of 250k or so.

I bought a second investment property in Spain back in 2005 which I lost approx 90k when taxes, legal fees etc were considered when I sold.

Can I write this off against my share gain.

Thanks,

Have you included the details of the loss on a tax return previously? There’s a reasonable likelihood of you being asked to evidence your carried forward losses which will be easily enough done if you have the necessary paperwork around the purchase and sale in Spain.
 
My accountant is saying I had four years to account for the capital loss with my previous tax returns. Obviously I've missed this.
