Hello, I'm a little confused about what to put in the "Losses available to be carried forward" box for the 2022/23 tax year. My "Gains in the year, before losses" was £3,319 and my "Losses in the year" was £23,911. I'm not sure if a) the full £23,911 losses are able to be carried forward because £3,319 is less than the CGT allowance of £12,300 b) or the losses available to be carried forward are £23,911 minus £3,319 = £20,592 Thanks for your help

Hi,
The losses are set against your gains, before the annual exempt allowance is applied, so the loss to carry forward would be the reduced figure.  
Please have a look at:
Capital Gains Tax: what you pay it on, rates and allowances
Thankyou.
