Clarifying CGT detail required and how to carry forward losses

In the tax year 2023/24 I made disposals of £50,900, so I need to fill in a CGT return. I just want to check I'm doing it right. The cost of acquisition of those investments disposed of was £52,239; so I have made a net loss of £1,306 on the disposals. There were 24 disposals and 13 of these were disposed of at a profit, total £4,652. The other 11 were disposed of at a loss, totalling £5,958. I have completed the 'number of disposals', 'disposal proceeds', 'allowable cost' and 'losses in the year' with the totals. Because of the number of disposals (and the fact that I acquired some shares in multiple tranches) I'm not using the worksheet calculator within the tax return but am attaching a document listing all the securities, the date of disposal, the type of security (e.g. ordinary 25p shares), number of shares disposed of, cost, and net gain / loss. My questions are: 1) Given I have a loss of £1,306, do I need to complete any further boxes to carry forward that loss to be able to offset it against future years capital gains, if necessary? 2) Is the level of detail I'm proposing to include in my attachment sufficient?

Hi Helen,
You will show the losses to carry forward at box 47 (paper return). If filing online, look for capital losses other information and the box will show losses to carry forward.
Yes the spreadhsheet will be enough.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply, I understand that and will use box 47 to show the net carried forward loss. One further question has just occurred to me - should I report the net loss of £1,306 in box 27? Or should I show the total gains of £4,652 in box 26, and the total loss of £5,958 in box 27? Thanks

Hi,

You will show total gains and total losses on the return but box 47 will be the net amount.

Thank you.
