How long does it take for a query to be posted on the Community Forum and answered by HMRC? I sent a query on 19 December 2024 and haven't seen it posted yet or answered. I did get an acknowledgement from HMRC on 19/12 by email saying it would be posted "shortly". I would like to know what I need to do to ensure a capital loss is deducted from my capital gains so that I'm just taxed on my net capital gains within the current year. I did put the amount of capital lost in Box 26 and set out all the sums in "additional information", but should I also have entered the capital lost in Box 40? I didn't want accidentally for the loss to be double counted....
