Hello,
Can some help.
I have made approx 6100 profit in the 02/03
tax year from buying/selling shares.
But i have also made a loss of 3700 on some
of the other shares that i sold.
Do i have to offset my losses against the gains,
or can i keep all of the 6100 profit as it is
under the capital gains threshold, and carry
the 3700 losses over to next years trading
to be used against 03/04 gains ( if any !) .
Thanking you kindly
Tom

Current year losses are ALWAYS put against the current year profits even if the final figure is under the CG Allowances -

BUT if you have prior years losses b/fwd (as they exceed the profits in that year) you can limit the amount used in the next year so your profits are the same as the CG Allowances the rest of the losses can continue to be c/fwd until such time you can utilise them!
