Investor tax guides
Featured explainers that pair with the Russia desk - then open All guides for the full library.
- Tax Loss Harvesting Explained for Stock InvestorsTax loss harvesting means selling investments at a loss in a taxable account to offset capital gains (and sometimes a slice of ordinary income), then staying invested without triggering wash-sale or anti-avoidance rules. It helps most when you already have gains to offset - not as a reason to wreck a long-term plan.
- Capital Gains Tax on Stocks: Investor OverviewCapital gains tax (CGT) generally applies when you sell shares or ETFs for more than your cost basis. Rates, allowances, and holding-period rules vary by country - start here for the shared math, then open a StockWatch country CGT desk or country guide before you file.
- Crypto Tax Basics for InvestorsMost tax systems treat crypto like property for investors: selling, swapping, or spending can realize a gain or loss, and staking or airdrop rewards may look like income. Rules differ sharply by country - use this guide to frame the events, then open a capital-gains desk for your residency.
- Tax-Advantaged Accounts for Investors (IRA, 401k, ISA & More)Tax-advantaged accounts change when and how investment income is taxed: deferral inside pensions, tax-free growth in some wrappers, or employer plans with contribution limits. Names differ (401(k), IRA, ISA, TFSA, SIPP) - the design pattern is similar, and taxable brokerages still matter for overflow capital.
