Capital lossess on share dealings

Dear Sir, I purchased Lloyds Bank shares in 2007 and 2008, worth £33k in each deal at the time. In Oct 2021 and Mar 2022, I sold out the shares and incuured a total loss of £30k. Can I use the loss to offset or reduce my year 2023/24 income tax? If I can, how to do it in my self-assessment? I have tried a few times on HMRC self-assessment website, but cannot access either box 41 ('Losses used against income – amount claimed against 2023–24 income') or Box 43 ('Losses used against income – amount claimed against 2022–23 income). Please help. Thank you. Shao

Hi

The losses can only be used against any future capital gains. They cannot be used to reduce your income tax bill.

Thank you
