Capital Loss on Sale of Property

I sold a second property at a loss. I have no other capital assets. Can I offset that loss against my income tax liability?

I should add, the property wasn't a buy to let and I'm a private individual not a business.

Hi BryanBoy Shaw,
Capital losses can be deducted from any capital gains made in the same tax year.
If your total taxable gain is still above the tax-free allowance, you can utilise any unused capital losses from previous tax years.
Any remaining capital losses can be carried forward to future tax years.
Capital Gains Tax: what you pay it on, rates and allowances
Thank you. 

HMRC Admin 25 Thank-you for responding. Because I have no other Capital Assets I will never have a Capital Gain against which I could deduct the loss on the property. Hence my original question was can, I use the Capital Loss and offset it against my Income Tax liability?

Hi BryanBoy Shaw

No it can only be used for capital gains. If you are unable to use it, then it is lost.

Thanks
