time limit to claim capital loss shares

[Stockmaster]

Hi Guys, does anybody know, if you did not file losses in the past in your returns for share losses(In my case I didn't know I had to). but want to do so now, add your losses for the past years in this years return, is there a time limit as to how far I can go back to claim capital losses on shares to offset a current gain.

Bump - I have a similar quer

Failure to file a tax return does not mean you lose the losses.

I'd imagine there would be a query from Revenue if the losses were not declared previously.

Once you have documentary evidence to prove same, if queried by revenue, I believe they're is no time limit
