Hi
on the example of page 49 of the study guide, I do not understand where the relief for the £20,000 trading profit in 2015/2016 comes from.
If you could help me by explaining this, I would be grateful.
Thank you.
If you look back at the note relating to this you will see that when a claim is made against the total income of the preceding tax year that there is NO restriction of the use of the loss against trading income – so whatever figure either more or less than 50,000 there is no cap that applies to it.
The 50,000 cap ONLY applies when setting off the loss against other income – in this case the employment income. Hence the available claim is made up of all the trading income of 20,000 plus 50,000 (capped) of the employment income.
Thank you for the clarification! it was really helpful.
