 When book value higher  then deposition it means there is a capital loss.

When you have an allowable capital loss in the current tax year, you must claim it to offset any capital gains you had in the current year.

  1. You can only use capital losses to reduce capital gains.
  2. You cannot use capital losses to offset other types of income like business income.
