Template:Year end security trading
Important dates for security settlement are:
- December 30th, 2025 - final trade date for Canadian equities for settlement in 2025 tax year[1]
- December 30th, 2025 - final trade date for US equities for settlement in 2025 tax year.[1]
- December 30th, 2025 - final trade date for Options for settlement in 2025 tax year.[1]
The settlement date is T+1, so December 30th will always be the last trading date unless December 30th or 31st falls on a weekend. In either of those cases, the last trading date will be earlier by 1 or 2 days.[1]
Options settle the day after trading date. However, the timing of options gains and losses is a little more complicated.[1] [2]
You should also double check with your discount broker because some markets close early around holidays.
