  • Tax harvesting can help investors minimise tax liability by offsetting capital gains with losses, optimising returns and legally reducing taxes, making it a useful tool for tax savings

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the concept of tax harvesting, a strategy used by investors to minimize their tax liabilities while potentially maximizing returns. Tax harvesting involves selling assets that have incurred losses to offset capital gains, thereby reducing the taxable income. The process includes selling investments at a loss, which can be used to offset any capital gains realized in the same financial year. If the losses exceed the gains, up to INR 1 lakh can be offset against other income, with any remaining loss carried forward for up to eight subsequent years. The article explains how this strategy not only helps in tax savings but also allows investors to rebalance their portfolio by buying back the same or similar assets after a period, adhering to the rules that prevent immediate repurchase to avoid the wash-sale rule. This method is particularly beneficial in volatile markets where losses can be strategically used to manage tax obligations effectively.
