Hi Jilly, I am not able understand this question and its answer It is telling the earliest year that can the loss be offset and the mount of the loss relieved in that year. Does it talking about oldest year whose loss can be used or what ? not clear to me? Thanks, Sabine started to trade as a sole trader on 1 April 2022. Her tax adjusted trading profits/(losses) for the first two years are: Year ended 31 March 2022 £5,000 Year ended 31 March 2023 (£25,000) Sabine was employed until 31 March 2022 earning £45,000 per annum. She also receives £3,000 of savings income every year. Sabine would like to relieve her loss as early as possible. Indicate, by selecting the relevant boxes in the table below, the earliest tax year in which her loss can be offset and how much loss can be relieved in that year? Earliest tax year Loss relieved 2018/19 £14,000 2019/20 £20,000 2020/21 £22,000 2021/22 £25,000 2022/23 Answer , 2019/20 25000

This is loss relief in the opening years of a trade - look at the manual/watch the lecture to get full explanation. The loss of £25k in 22/23 can be carried back 3 years FIFO to 19/20 and be relieved in full
