I have a capital loss from publicly-traded shares from a previous year. I understand that I can carry this loss forward and subsequently offset it against a gain in future. I get the impression that I am supposed to enter it on my tax return but cannot see where. I presume it would be box 47 ('losses available to be brought forward') but cannot find this box or the equivalent in the Capital Gains section when completing Self Assessment online. Can anyone advise?

Hi,
If you have already notified us of the loss, then yes, you can bring it forward and use it. The online return will have the same question so you need to ensure that you have answered yes to capital gains for this to open.
Thank you.
