RE: Can Off-plan overseas property loss be set against capital gains?
Hi Old Geezer,
You would need to identify whether any asset was acquired when you made this payment of £20,000.
Ultimately, a Capital Loss can only be realised upon the disposal of an asset, whether that's a property, shares in an investment company or interest in or right in or over an asset.
You will need to identify what you actually acquired (if anything) and when this asset was disposed of to allow you to identify if any loss arises and when the disposal took place.

Pension Tax Relief Query
Hi Roseleen Kelly,
The Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA) is a reduction to the Annual Allowance (AA) for individuals who have flexibly accessed their money purchase pension savings.
As you have not flexibly accessed the pension the annual allowance will not be reduced to the MPAA level.
Your pension provider will be able to advise you on this matter, in relation to the types of pension you have.
