Tax-Lot Selection-Method Sample Clauses
The Tax-Lot Selection-Method clause defines how specific lots of securities are chosen for tax reporting purposes when a sale or transfer occurs. In practice, this clause specifies whether the first-in, first-out (FIFO), last-in, first-out (LIFO), or another method will be used to determine which shares are considered sold, directly impacting the calculation of capital gains or losses.
