Hi, I have made loss in December 2019, can I report them now or is there a dead line to report those losses? Please advice. Many Thanks Anil

Hi

You will need to ensure that your letter declaring the losses and supporting calculation is in HMRC possession no later that 5 April 2024.  
If received after that date, your 4 year window is ended and your claim is out of date, so will not be considered.  
You should write to HMRC at the address:-
H.M. Revenue and Customs
Self Assessment
BX9 1AS.

Thank you

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I do not have UTR, the letter you referring is UTR ? Do I need to have a UTR to report loss in this case? or just a letter with explaining the losses with supporting evidence would be fine. If a UTR is needed how to obtain one? Many Thanks

Hi Thota

No.  If you have capital gains losses and do not need to complete a tax return, then you can claim for losses in writing to:
H.M. Revenue and Customs
Pay As You Earn
BX9 1AS
with supporting calculations.  
If you are self employed and claiming losses for self employment, then you will need to register for self assessment, as self employed.  
You will be given a UTR, so that you can claim your losses through the tax return.

Thank you
