    If an item is sold then you should deduct the lower of sale proceeds and original cost.

    Hello Boma77, there is another question shown as follows:
    Trancis is a sole trader who has been in business for many years preparing accounts to 5 April each year. His recent results have been as follows:
    y/e 5 April 2014 Profit ……………………16000
    y/e 5 April 2015 Loss……………………..(25000)
    Francis has gross invetment income of £3000 each year. He is expected to make trading profits of around £12,000 per annum over the next few years.
    What is the trading loss to carry forward to the tax year 2015/2016 if Francis makes the most advantageous claim for loss relief?
    the answer is 6000, would you please help me?
    many thanks

    the investment income (3.000) for the tax year 2014/15 is covered by the personal allowance.
    The maximum carry back is 19.000 (16.000 + 3.000) against total income.
    Therefore trading loss carry forward is 6.000 (25.000-19.000).

    I hope this is correct.

    Again jingdong some of your questions indicate you have not properly studied the basic points within the OT Course Notes and lectures – use the lower of sale proceeds or original cost in dealing with disposals in a CA computation!
    In respect of the losses question the answer is based on making a claim against the total income of the tax year preceding the year of loss – 2013/14 where there is a total income of 19,000 (16,000 + 3,000) and making no claim against the total income of 2014/15 (the tax year of loss) as clearly this is already covered by the PA. This will leave 6,000 (25,000 – 19,000) to c/f.
    In making the claim of 19,000 in 2013/14 it will waste the personal allowance of the year but if the whole loss was instead c/f against future trading profits then even more PA would be lost.

    If you are referring to Chapter 18 in the OT Course notes then that is Corporation Tax losses where of course there is no mention of the PA!! Your question is about income tax losses which is Chapter 7!
