Generally, you cannot claim interest paid on borrowed funds as a deduction when calculating income tax liability under the 'capital gains' category for investments in shares or mutual funds. However, if the income generated from these investments is treated as 'income from business', then the interest paid on the borrowed funds may be allowable as an expense.
