I do have around a dozen ETFs in an offshore portfolio. Some of these are reporting ETFs and I am clear (well, I hope I am) as to the ERI implications of those ETFs. Also, my understanding is that gains/losses for reporting ETFs are treated as per the usual CGT rules.
However, I have also some ETFs which are non-reporting. I understand that for those any gains will not fall into the CGT regime but will count as and towards normal income (meaning I can't use the CG exemption for them). What I am unclear about is the losses side. Let's say I have two non-reporting ETFs and I sell both in the same tax year. For #1 I make a gain of £1000 but #2 generates a loss of £1000. Will these two cancel each other out for income tax purposes or do I pay tax for the gains but can't use the losses to offset the gains?
I have tried to google that but haven't been very successful so any explanation or link to further information would be v helpful. Thanks a lot.
